The Buzz

Amongst all the projects I carry out, this particular one has got to be the most arduous. It was a cross functional project that was thrust to us about two years ago. Work commitments and lack of time ("the mind is infinitely creative at not doing what it does not want to do - Tony Buzan) to really think through the problem, resulted in the project not progressing beyond the initial proposal.
In the intervening two years, the rules changed and got tightened; we found an e-mail in our inboxes requesting a status update. We put our heads together and decided that if at all we were to make progress, we would need to look for a better project.
Fully prepared for the worst, we presented our case to resubmit for a new proposal. Surprisingly, the new topic was well received; there seemed to be a buzz of excitement from the committee and we are on our way.
In all honesty, this is not a project we can afford to ignore. Like it or not, to drop out of this program just because we don't want to do a project would be folly on our part. The only thing is to just get it done. So I guess the only thing to do is to chip away at it, 15 minutes at a time, until the block of granite is smoothed into a sculpture, just like Michelangelo's David, or de Milo's Venus.
What else is there?
