Vague Anxieties

elfsI'm bored.
We're right at the end of this project and the applications team is more or less done. I'm supposed to be working on another project for a special hardware upgrade release, but I can't really do anything until the underlying API is finished (or, at least, designed) and we've come to some agreement on what it should say.
There's an all-company meeting today at 4:00, and an all-developer's meeting at 3:00. I can't miss the all-developer's meeting, and I really shouldn't miss the all-company, but I'm probably going to do so in favor of going to Foolscap.
And maybe Elric's right. Nobody in that vague middle ground between management and labor, the project managers, seems to think that this is a build-and-run operation, but y' never know. I just hate "surprise" meetings, and that's what the all-dev meeting is: a surprise. It's just a "rah-rah," "let's get this thing out the door" kind of show, or so I'm told, but still... I've been through too many mergers, acquisitions, and layoffs in my life to be comfortable.
