At least Bill Murray's character learned to play the piano

Starting to feel like "Groundhog Day" around here. We're back again, doing nothing again, and not knowing if we'll be here tomorrow. Again. Naturally, there was no announcement about our fate last night until about a half-hour before quitting time, when many people had already left. They had to send an email, sent at 7:21 pm, which was a work of art in itself:

Greetings Project [Trapped in Document Review Hell]!

As many of you already know, the project will be continuing tomorrow, Wednesday, September 24. The hours for Wednesday are 8 am to 7 pm. The schedule for the rest of the week has not yet been determined. However, [the rat-bastard, tell-nothing law firm we're working for]  has indicated they would like to inform everyone that going forward there may be additional work, unrelated to the filing, but related to the merger itself. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to this project.

Best,

[The Poor Project Manager Forced to Operate Completely In The Dark About The Future of The Project]

The project manager was forced to use a lot of mushy, iffy language because the law firm won't tell anyone anything. Not surprisingly, given an uncertain future on this project, folks are bailing left and right for other projects. I'm only still here because my new project doesn't start until Monday. I feel certain this will be over by then, but even if it isn't, it will be for me. I like getting paid for doing nothing as much as the next guy, but the boredom is really intense. Guess I'm not cut out for federal employment.
