Party Planning

2004-12-20 22:07 in /random

Why is it that I totally hate project planning at work, but for a dinner party, I’m willing to write page upon page of inventories, tasks lists, and timelines at a level of detail that any sane person would have fired up MS Project to handle? I think this reflects sometime about the relative maturity of the two disciplines. Either that or it reflects that I’m a freak.
