WFH is just the best

[ExtraSlow]

I'm not even really WFH. Just trying to get one thing down before I feed the kids breakfast and take off for downtown today. Didn't happen.

Latest project coming up at work where I worked on the last one three years ago.
Meeting is set up where we go over what we will be doing and the successes, failures and improvements for the latest project.
In the meeting are two-years ago new hire (same position as myself), manager and senior manager.
I know more than the other three in the meeting about what needs to be done and how best to proceed (having done it previously).
Except I am not working on the project but will be covering junior guys position at a different location.
And then I realize I am the only one in the room without an iron ring.

[ExtraSlow]

Only guy without an iron ring.
Only guy who knows what is happening.

That checks out.

[Disoblige]

Manager and Sr. Manager will never know wtf is going on. Boots on the ground is where the knowledge is and rarely does that feedback ever get back to where it needs to, thus history repeats itself.

Reduce spending or fast-track or "FEL" the cheapest part of the job where the smartest people are adding value and eliminating variables to achieve schedule & cost certainty.

Sanction project based on the horse shit from above.

Blame the front-end people when the job balloons even though they told you they didn't get enough time to do their work.

Repeat on next job.

"Movie in the Park" is playing within loudspeaker earshot. It's a terrible movie I've never heard of starring Robin Williams.

Hair gel that smells like an exploded can of Axe Bödy Sprây. This is completely unuseable shit. It smells so much that a child will be told that they can't wear it in school.



^Fuck you^
My only hope is that it's flammable so it will be mildly useful for something.

People look at me weird when I say I don't find Robin Williams funny. Never have.

I liked Good Will Hunting though.

Have I posted this before? I work with a guy who uses the word "generalistically". I may have to kill him.

People who use terms like that are, generalistically speaking, a bunch of idiots.

It's doable.
