heh. it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve done that!

which one was it? the one where there is 70% chance of the project mildly suceeding and 30% chance of corporare ruination? ;)

err – well, certainly not the first one I’ve (almost) done it with, but this one was the inspiration for this post…

nice :)

I’ll try and find a link to the one that I’m talking about…

Already hung that one on my whiteboard at work in the area I reserve for “Pending Projects” (aka Projects We’ll Never Have Time To Get To)

Funny, I’ve actually just printed that one today – as a subtle hint to place near my manager’s desk :-)

I’m wondering whether this is considered more appropriate for employees than for consultants, or if dilbert cartoons turn out to be good career-ending devices… ;-)

Have your say
