[NamingFilter] Name my divorce
June 5, 2019 11:17 PM Subscribe
As of yesterday, I'm going through a divorce. I'm also a project manager, I enjoy doing it and I do it well. I'm getting ready to project-manage my divorce, but first, I need a really good name for this "project".
The name needs to be something that Todoist, Evernote and Asana won't have problems with.
TIA!

I called mine "The Recent Unpleasantness."

If you've worked on a lot of projects like I have, I bet you've worked on like a dozen called "project phoenix". Repurpose this hackneyed, classic project name.

Project:
Makeover
Restart
Exit
Drop kick (your ex far far out of your life)
Do over
Do Right (to yourself)
Move On
Bulldoze (your old marriage and life)
Vanish (make your marriage disappear)
Congratulations! When people tried to give me condolences for leaving my marriage wayback when, I had to explain that congratulations were in order. The sad stuff had happened way earlier. Now I was moving on to the good stuff.

If it's acrimonious, or you're just repressing rage about your dick of a STBX for the greater good, War of the Roses might be theraputic. Or hey, STBX would work too.

Prosaic as it may be, Philip K. Dick named a drug 'Substance D' in A Scanner Darkly and it had intangible but satisfying connotations and a good mouth-feel.

Um, if you get the urge, dear project manager, please do feel free to write out some divorce project management SOPs for those of us who are going through the process but who have zero management skills. In solidarity.
