Much as I live life to the full, even someone with my gifts cannot cope with a job

Never mind sasguru. When it all gets a bit too complicated, just press the "Bob Button".
You know it makes sense.

And just how have you explained this epic delivery failure, on your part, to the Venture Capitalist backers?
They must be really thrilled to have you on the Payroll, as if they could not just have outsourced the work in the first place.

Classic.

Is that what you call masturbating now?

[DimPrawn]

Indeed. But DIm has to work writing HTML for a living while I just have to strategise.

Much as I live life to the full, even someone with my gifts cannot cope with a job, a for-fun part time maths degree, a family AND push a business forward.
Now have a pot noodle it's about all you can manage in a day

... and more CUK posts than Dim. Now, that's epic life failure.

Yes our resident spreadsheet jockey has met his own limitations.



A loser on a grand scale.

Bit mouthy for someone with a crap contract in the NW of England, what?

Thought you wanted a month off to crack this code you were working on? A few days in and you realise it is beyond your meagre skillset, and you reach for the Bob hotline. Now THAT is failure on a grand scale.

No by Walter Mitty standards, I'm very poor.

Don't worry, true wealth is in your friends, family and happiness.

Speaking of failures.

Well you'd know all about them.



So you have given up coding already eh? These "Venture Capitalists" must be really thrilled that they have you "adding value" to the enterprise. You in charge of ordering stationery then?

You just carry on winking and gurning. Coz that'll get you far.

...and you're not even rich, not by MY standards anyway.

.... you come onto an anonymous internet forum and start regaling the board with how rich you are, yet you still have to blunder about 'bodging' dodgy code together hoping against all hope that someday, someone, somewhere will realise that you aren't a bellend and will take pity on you and throw you a bone for your 'plan B'.

More chance of winning the Euromillions in my opinion.

My Plan B (more like D) is going very well, thanks for asking.
I've got Bob to do the code monkeying while I do Speccing/QA.

You know you're a failure when ...
... you use the internets to mock others behind a wall of anonymity

Don't be a twat you loser.
