I'm glad I'm not important

Picture the scene at clientco. Senior execs and 'VPs' getting all worked up because they can't get to London for a meeting tomorrow.

Tell him all the contractors made it home last night and what's his problem.

[Mich the Tester]

Typical pointy head who thinks that technology can replace face to face interraction.

I am surprised at you Mitch

Of course it can't. But in the circumstances, any sensible person will surely accept the telephone as an alternative, or just wait until monday.

I may be being a touch cynical, but telecommuting won't get you a weekend in London on expenses either.

You cant bang you bit on the side from the London office over teleconference either!!

I think you chaps have spotted the real issue here.

Yes it will. But not quite yet. You might make it until retirement.

Honestly, I'm glad I'm just a contract test person. Better than being a self important shyte.

Did that person mention that a very very long time he used to be a guru of SAS programs?

[HairyArsedBloke]

If they were that important they would be based in London in the first place.

Picture the scene at clientco. Senior execs and 'VPs' getting all worked up because they can't get to London for a meeting tomorrow. One of them's hassling his secretary who's been on the phone all day trying to get him a hire car and a ferry ticket but all the ferries are full and the hire cars are all booked. So he just keeps ordering her to find a way to get him to London. Another one exclaims furiously 'you Yurrupeans don't even dare to fly through a cloud!'

How sad. Besides the fact that the world's techies have provided the wonder of telephony to resolve exactly this problem, what makes someone think he's so fooking important that when a big cloud of volcanic ash flies across Europe everyone should move heaven and earth to get him to London? What kind of a **** are you if you just can't accept that you might have to wait until monday?
