A woman can make 4 babies with 4 different fathers in 9 months, right?

Someone decided we need a "rubber band programmer" who bounces around from project to project as needed, and that gets to be me.

So I work on 4 projects, with 3 programming languages, 4 frameworks, and with users in 4 complicated industries, none of which I have experience with.

And my boss wonders why I'm not as productive as everyone who has worked on 1 project for 5 years.

    Tell your boss the cost of context shifting. One more thing is the next step if he is growing unhappy with you is to put you on an old maintenance project. Seen it before.

    I like your phrase, I heard something similar in response to PM's trying to throw extra freelancers on a project:

    "9 women can't make a baby in a month"

    That's the phrase he's basing the rant on, I'm sure.
