I wanna be a hillbilly

I leave for one week, and the whole world turns upside down. If I was super hyper optimist, I would say I am one of the first SW engineers who can try out a 'revolutionary' approach: Our client decided to rent the developer resources of the whole company and manage us directly. No we're not contractors, our employment doesn't change... Practically I haven't got one single boss but I'm not self employed either.

It feels like living on an island completely alone, and I'm supposed to do something and I do have a deadline, but there's no one who tells me what and when to do, but will knock on my door when the deadline is due. Maybe, the island decides I'm a candidate and will tell me what and when to do ;) Do I have to push that button?

(For those who haven't seen the serial, I was referring to Lost.)

So right now I envy the people I saw living in their trailer in the middle of the desert worrying about not a single thing...
