A fool and his money...

I was running low on things to do so I asked for more work (it's really boring around here and you can only surf just so much).
My boss assigns me four tasks. Our business analysts are idiots, so naturally, most of the information required to actually do the work was missing, so I was asking him for additional information. He then notices that none of these items are targeted for release yet, and so I am supposed to (quoting here) "don't work on anything assigned to you if it's not targeted for release". Ok, then I still have nothing to do. Yes you do; I just assigned you four items! But you just told me not to work on any of them. That's ok, as long as there is work on your plate!

Well, technically, he is right. Your thread is still blocking, but it isn't blocking on the getNextThingToWorkOn() call anymore.
