I remember having to work with a manager who was known in client co for being a real ballbreaker, hard to work with and just not a nice person.
I found out early doors that if I sent all my work (huge data archive with timings, etc) in Excel with pretty tables and graphs he loved it. The more I jazzed up the data with colours and fonts the more he liked me.
He was a nice as a kitten by the time I'd finished the gig.
qhHe had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.
I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

Its lessons learnt FFS, not the latest edition of the Beano.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostOoh. Make sure you include some pictures of a little stick man at the computer. Perhaps all round the edge of the powerpoint slide, as a border.
Stick a massive pie chart in the bottom centre, and put some wording underneath in very small itallic: it should be noted that the data reflected above is meaninglessOriginally posted by cojak View PostNah, it's all about infographics these days, innit...Comment
