It's gonna be a good year, Tater...

My year has started off splendidly with the following response from my manager when someone attempted to double-book the team for a WEEKEND:

Dear Project Coordinator,

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to assist your team in this rollout on 1/13.  We have already committed to manage another team's deployment on the weekend that would demand 40 hours of DBA support. All resources will be dedicated to the deployment.  Our weekend on-call resource will only focus on production issue resolution and not project support. Can we manage such rollout during the week?  We are pretty booked by various commitments on weekend support in January, 2012. Thanks,
Manager Lady

Yes, it's Jan 5, 2012 and my queue is already full for the year.  More to come, I'm sure...
