Let’s make this a contest

Today a project manager said something to me that I didn’t think I hear (from a project manager) in a thousand years.

What do you think it was?

Win: A random prize to the person with the first correct answer (NZ only).

Update: Winner announced!

As much I wish it was Stu’s remuneration (I could do with the moolah) or follower’s “realisation” (too funny) or sal’s fries (now I’m hungry) the award goes to mase for his “don’t worry about the budget”.

Yep, it’s true. It took a moment to sink in when they said it, and then register what that actually meant in terms of the mouth it came out of… shocking!

Prizes?
I had a loose idea in my brain about what the prize could/would be. If you were Wellington based it was going to be my shout at some local establishment. If you were elsewhere in NZ it was going to be some random conference schwag I’d picked up, maybe a t-shirt, maybe a laptop bag, maybe even a thermos..

So Mase, you’ve won a drink with me at some stage bud! Cash it in when you want. To everyone else who left a comment; thank you! I laughed uncontrollably reading them as they came in.
