is it just me, or does anyone else wonder why everything is stupid?
why do people in higher positions make everything complicated and idiotic?
i seriously think monkey's could run the system better than the people we call "executives."
i've been in information tech for 7+ years. yet, everyday i have a "WTF" moment.
maybe i'm the one who is stupid. stupid for thinking things can be done easily. stupid for thinking simple. stupid for wanting to make everything actually work.
if you have a process (by process, i mean anything - a promotion, a memo, a new development project, etc) that can be handled with 2 steps, why in the fucking jesus christ would you add 15 new, additional steps in between step 1 and step 2????
now, you have what we in the "biz" call a massive cluster fuck. oh, but wait...the jack ass who suggested steps 1.1 through 1.15 isn't to blame. no, he just had the "idea." he's an executive. they're always right even when they're fucking morons. no, it's up to the little guy to fix the fucking mess.
i hate idiocy. nothing pisses me off more than listening to stupid fucking people talk about stupid fucking ideas.
it's a waste of time, money and oxygen.
instead of a simple process like, step 1) collect data, step 2) enter data.
we now have step 1) collect data, step 2) write down data on a second little entry form, step 3) box up *n* number of small entry forms, step 4) mail to home office, step 5) monkeys at hq enter data into database, step 6) database is "dumped" and the text file is emailed back to branch office, step 7) dump is incorrect and doesn't match branch office database because home office is too cheap to purchase standardized tools, step 8) it geek sits and wastes an hour converting text dump to fit branch office format, while his real projects sit collecting dust. step 9) data finally uploaded and possibly used...although, maybe not, because people in branch office don't really care. step 10) fucking repeat the next time a contest happens.
what happen to logic? what happen to business?
ok. i'm done. go about your daily business.

Could you put that in a memo and get Gillian to put it in one of those nice folders, and have Mark bind it, then get Mary to put a nice little logo on the edge of the page and get that fucker Paul to get me a coffee while you're at it.
