my bro in law is senior management and a new guy came into his office ... and asked him for his 'time horizon' on a project. He told him to **** off !!!! now that was blue sky thinking eh ?
and again aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhh!!! ... why can't I have a win - win situation, outside the box.... I'm pro-active, I pre- order things and there's a synergy in my actions, I can see the big picture. AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (drool, drool, dribble, dribble pah ! )
Just had another one... ... on an email from a prospective puchaser of a client company. They've asked for a meeting so we can "sense check our understandings" FFS !!!!
RE: Just had another one... can you touch all the bases on that, take a helicopter view and check you are all on the same page.
How about this At work there is a hierarchy in data structure and terms for different levels.. So what did they decide to have? Cloud view (being the top level), bird view, kite view, sea view, underwater view, sea bed view (or something like that)….I was in a meeting and they were referring to the seabed level of data and then mentioned there was more under that…so they were stuffed as they couldn't refer to it! Nothing as simple as having level 1 for the top level and working from there!
RE: How about this aweful mate. Mind you they weren't thinking 'outside the box' at the bottom of the seas are strata of rock which relate to prehistoric times. They could have had cretaceous level etc.</p> This management speak is invented by people who are not particularly bright to make themselves appear intelletual. It doesn't wash with me.</p> My all time 'use of words' I hate is when you are making a point and some fecking pompous **** says disdainfully "I hear the words" in a knowing dismissive manner. It makes me want to rip off their head and **** down their neck !!!!</p> Not that it bothers me....</p>
ahh well that's between me and Ali !!! er actually nothing mate she'd just had a premature posting (no text) err I kinda know what that's like
