Plans? We don’t need no stinkin’ plans!

Josh has run into that wonderful bit of managerial incompetence known as “no planning skills” He assumes that some people just don’t know what a plan is. I’ll go you one better Josh, have you ever had someone hand you a memo with the “Plan” on it and noticed that two of the intermediate steps to the “Plan” contradict one another? For example, step 3 of the “Plan” is for you to move a machine from Office A on the 3rd floor to Office B, two floors down, but step 5 of the “Plan” talks about hooking up a printer for everyone on Third Floor to share to that same machine back in Office A?

Of course if you try to point this out to the manager in question, you’re going to be accused of being difficult! @#$!%*-“!!!!!!

I hope there’s a special section of hell roped off for incompetent managers.

    I’m home from work today. I am not feeling very well, although sleeping in until 11 AM seems to have helped some. Maybe I just need a day to shut down and rest? Who knows! Anyway, I’m behind in updating and blog-reading, so more to come later, maybe! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    After a full, busy, weekend of a going-away party for a coworker on Friday night, into the OSU Spring Game Saturday with Andy and Kristen, into taking in The Interpretor with my wife and then a birthday party for my sister-in-law on Sunday, I’ve been greeted with just as crazy a Monday.
