Sometiems, after two or three weeks of hardcore coding, my boss will call me down to his office just to check on me. He'll say things like "Haven't heard from you in a while" "Just wondering how things were going, and if we're seeing any progress" "Where've ya been?"

To whit my usual reply is "I've been in my cube doing what you pay me for, things are going forward, hence all the work, and I'd be doing fine without all these interruptions"

And I continued to get paid, and the work gets done. He stopped asking to see daily progress reports years ago, and now is happy with his once a month Operating Report.

The point of my story? We might not be hearing from them because they're working, and the work isn't all that easy.
