    What's a 7 letter word for a process of checking software before deploying.... hmmmmm

    first?

    Sorry that's not a 7 letter word even with the attached question mark. (ba-da-bing!)

    Guess my captcha, it means we are evolving...

    Did anyone else notice that the problem with sending in solutions was with the email submission, and the fix was to use three submission methods that avoided using email?

    1 - print, hardcopy via interoffice mail 2 - screen capture, print, hardcopy via interoffice mail 3 - print, fax

    Let me guess how deep the fix was in the code...

    Keeping employee morale up is a hard thing to do, so businesses do their best to keep spirits up.

    Nowhere I've ever worked.

    Why is it that marketing and sales types, the people who spend all day writing stuff, are invariably the ones who display atrocious grammar and spelling abilities? Programmers, on the other hand, spend all day coding variables named "wrkThngMkStp" and somehow manage a basic grasp of the language.

    And if you are tempted to nitpick at some mistake of mine... just keep your mouth shut...

    You ought not start sentences with "and". And it is "nit-pick".

    I love all the sarcasm in this article! One of the funniest I've read here. It's really well written and I had a good laugh :) Thanks!

    Just pray that your organization doesn't make you go through the insanity that is FISH.

    Do you mean this? FISH!

    If so, that's the most retarded thing I've heard. Here's a thought, maybe employees will have fun if your company isn't run like a parody of "Office Space", hmm?

    Addendum (2007-04-12 18:29): Oh, you're kidding me. I can't actually edit this and take out the html tags I included?

    We had that at my last company. The team I was on got in trouble for making too much noise & enjoying ourselves too much soon afterwards. Then we had "Who Moved My Cheese". All three of us on the team left within six months. It just proves that these motivational videos do work.

    I find myself wondering what could possibly be in a goodie bag from the International Standards Organisation. An exact meter stick? Kilogram? Atomic clock?
