have you checked your “Because…Fuck You” folder yet?
Comment by anicker — 25 November 2008 #
nursemyra: I’m afraid so. My boss is so paranoid about people deleting files that he sometimes does it himself to break the suspense.
anicker: Is that the one with the guest comic in it?

job security… and as i’ve found having lost many back ups, it’s easier to write a document the second time. may take you only 75% of the time the first one did….

Don’t make changes. Keep handing them the same exact document. No one in management will ever know the difference.

daisy: This one is going to take me 0% of the time the first one did. I’ve delegated it to an idle colleague.
uncle keith: True, but what if they get someone to read it to them?

Still cheaper to change it on paper rather than in the field…

Oh, for Pete’s sake. I like the because…fuck you response, also. I think people make stupid knee jerk responses, and don’t really care as long as they’re not the one to be bugged with fixing things back and forth. I’m a big fan of the “addendum” when people ask me to do that shit.
Addendum:
Change back to the old shit.

rob: I dunno. With the number of changes we’ve made, I think we’re going to start hitting the break-even point pretty soon.
robin: Ah. We call them “site instructions”.

Kykles, this is where you start slotting in phrases like ‘fuck’ and ‘cretin’ in between the lines to see if they actually notice.

peas: Interestingly enough, my boss is reasonably adept at reading between the lines.
