Boss: "Wally, Whats the status of your project?"

Wally: "I've been focusing my bandwidth on
organic growth. I'm getting lots of push-back, so
I'm taking the discussions offline. But sometimes
I table an issue or handle it in a sidebar. Now I
have my ducks in a row, the deal-breakers are
on the back burner, and I'm managing expectations."

Boss: "OK... Keep up the good work."
