Endless potential and other terrible things

Starting a project is often a challenging ordeal. A groups will more often the not experience first hand that the flip side of creativity and freedom is frustration and the sense of being overwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong, there are few things in project work more sought after and desired then free hands, endless possibilities and encouraging clients. But when push comes to shove and the work is about to begin, it can be hard to find out what the hell your pushing, how to push it and in which direction the thing is moving.
No self respecting KaosPilot will ever admit that they secretly want a narrow project that the client has predefined. But sometimes late at night in the dark with the curtains drawn, we think “hey, wouldn’t it be nice to be an accountant?”
I’m willing to put money on that damn near every member of my project group has had a moment like that the last week. We have kick started a project that holds such potential and have such undefined frames and limitations, that it could beat you into submission and make you come back for more. Thank god.

Besides work, we have had our first party. The “KaosPilots have landed” party was on Friday and filled Homebase to the rim with customer, newfound friends and passersby. The show included a traditional blessing of the office, several speeches and the KP airhostess greeting. Great fun, great people, great welcome, great vibe.
