Project manager:
This UAT data will all go in by the end of the day.

Me:
I think we need to be cautious with our expectations as we have hit a lot of errors so far when importing data.

Project manager:
You are such a pessimist.

Reality:
The environment was completely screwed up by the someone's last minute changes to the configuration files - which they had not factored into the data files.
The import was even more of a screw up than I had hinted at.
End of first day and 1/20th of the data is in the system.

After witnessing all of this the IT director told me that I am a pessimist.
