I have always been amazed at the sheer versatility of the human bum, but playing the recorder through it at 9 years old is a real eye-opener

I had a friend with a (in the words of Kevin Bloody Wilson) double-jointed arse. Luckily mum could afford to buy me my own recorder.

nope.

but there was a bloke who used to make predictions with his beak

nostrildamus

he used to write quantrains or quad bikes or something

'In the year of the cheeky monkey'
'A strong BA will there be'
'Suit a lot he will'
'and he might suit you'

He still delivered better results than Suity!

Yep, I remember him. Hunchback, wasn't he?

No in line styling? Tsk tsk

Maintainability. I bet you hardcoded the VAT rate.

How about a duet with your nostrils?

Do you have any cards left? Are there any tables you haven't put cards on?

There are plenty of projects out there for him to screw upweild that Sy01 magic!

Good point. And I think you're right. This place is weird. They have BAs, that basically do the business part and don't much care what the systems do (which is weird for me, but probably fair enough). The problem is that both projects I am on are only system changes, ie the business process does not change.

If I'm honest, I prefer to do the BA roles that have shades of techy in there.

At the moment I would take any work on as the past 16 business hours have gone by s l ooooo w ly.

Frustratingly the programme as a whole is in a tulipe state as no one is keeping an eye on the big picture. Something I would do well at. I am always on the prowl for new opportunities within clientco to shine, but so far I'm being held back which frustrates the hell out of me.

Considering I was a star last year at their sister company, for similar SAP integration type work they are really not making the best out of me.

Perhaps it's cards on table time.

Well the business process might not have to change for a systems replacement - but I would find that unusual that there is no change, though that could be limited to the industry/business area you are working in.

Having said that even if the business process has not changed if nobody has documented the business process yet then if you did that at least you can claim to be the center of knowledge on that subject....?

Mumsnet

Too hard core for me over there, sorry I'm out!

[suityou01]

Can't you do the "business" part of Business Analysis and go and analyse some process or re-engineer some business process?

Or are the partner BAs doing that too?
