IT projects in the workplace
Feb. 11th, 2008 07:41 pmThe metaphor currently in vogue with my employer is to say that we are attempting to change a tire on a car while speeding down the road at 60mph.
This is strangely apt, considering no one in their right mind would ever attempt such idiocy. Not only that, we're going to actually try to replace all four, one after the other. And for an encore, as a reward for such ingenuity, we'll be tasked with replacing the engine in the same way.
The script calls for us to shout; "Ta-DAAAAAAA!!!!" I call it The Aristocrats.
