Finally, the discussions with the vendor has ended, although I personally felt that the timeline my users and the IT division has given is *bloody* unrealistic! To give the first batch of deliverables by April and the last by end June this year! I have no idea what was going through their mind, but the enhancements and customizations required are so freaking many, both Fiona (my superior) and I think that the IT division would sloppily perform the unit and regression tests, ending up having us doing the proper testing for them! Somehow, we felt that the IT people were trying to look good in front of their bosses, and make the users the victims of their schemes......

And nope, workload is not going to lessen in anytime sooner; in fact, I could already foresee myself buried 6 feet under, resting unpeacefully.....
