Yep. Except he left out the incompetent engineers you have to deal with in between.

I never used to think Dilbert was all that funny. But now I read it every day. And laugh, a lot, and then cry a little.

Why was Quiet banninated? Let me guess, you're first post can't be "nice" or "good find".

Excuse me? I hope you're kidding. The IP could have resolved to Germany, Canada, Botswana, or China, and I still wouldn't give a shit becuase it was a spammer anyways, and it's not a local who could have a conceivable reason to be on the board

If you're kidding, sorry, too many idiots on the other board gettign to me

back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I realized I was in hell when my job description actually turned into "taking specs from customers and giving them to the engineers."

heh.
