The Lighter Side - Life is like an analogy

  • I've long enjoyed David's writing style and humour - both in his posts and his articles - this was fun reading!

    I think there's another distinct analogy lurking between end users and turds!!! :hehe:

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

    Hi,

    I'm Dave's wife, I can recommend an earlier article " users from hell", I am fairly computer illiterate but still managed to split my sides over that one myself!.

    Another good bet for yourself is "users from hell 2" - but don't show it to the boss - he'll think your having a pop at him!!!

    Good luck with the appraisal!

    All the best

    Thanks Kate. Surely I will go thru that also......:w00t:

    My first thought was, "I'm not going to shake hands with those kids after they've been squeezing turds between thumb and forefinger." :w00t:

    We had a secretary who asked me why all the developers spend so much time in the bathroom. I replied, "You know we are just full of ..." :hehe:

  • Great article, completely spot on! Definitely enlightened my day (including the responses).
