ArkieDukie wrote:Funny conversation du jour with PHB: I was going through the results of the task I had just completed. There were a few nuances to this particular analysis that he hadn't though about. His comment was something to the effect of, "You have to have a bit of knowledge in order to do this correctly." The other funny and telling comment was, "I'll have to read your SOP so I can understand how you did this."
Guess what? I think someone may be starting to figure out that it's not going to be as easy to replace me as he thought.
I think that my response was something along the lines of , but not out loud. I'm amused more than angry. Yes, PHB, you actually have to do a bit of digging into the answer that the program spits back at you; you cannot accept it at face value. I find it hysterical that PHB is just now figuring out that this particular task cannot be automated to the point where NuBarbie can do it. I've been laughing to myself about this all afternoon. What's especially amusing is that the kindergarten-level SOP I'm having to write for this task is for PHB as much as it is for NuBarbie. He will, in fact, understand it slightly more than she does, but at this point NuBarbie does not have the intellectual capacity or the background to complete this task. Bonus: this task is supposed to be hers to do, and there's a very real chance that it will be on her plate in a few weeks. Welcome to the consequences of hiring people who aren't qualified simply because they'll do exactly what you tell them to do.Lavabe wrote:Top Ten Responses to Stupid PHB:ArkieDukie wrote:You have to have a bit of knowledge in order to do this correctly.

I'm so OCD--I can hardly stand it! Just 33 more years to go and I can do it! (The letter I typed today was indexed "letter to Martin CSC - 012312" because it will go out on Monday.)
I shouldn't be working in 33 years - I working on following the family tradition - retirement at age 58.ArkieDukie wrote:That's pretty cool! Personally, I'd rather NOT be working 33 years from now.

We have a little guy, Levi, in one of the Rev. Lawgrad's churches. He's almost 4, a live wire, and positively adorable.
This morning his mother announced that she was expecting, which generated happy noises and applause. Whereupon Levi piped up in as loud a voice as his little lungs could muster, "I'm expecting too!"
I hate it when that happens. Hot water heater was out for our building when I returned home after New Year. Had to boil water to take a bath. Good times.DukieInKansas wrote:How come hot water heaters never go out in the summer? The low was in the teens last night and are supposed to be around 5 tonight. It makes for very cold morning showers!
