[business] Ещё о морских свинках или Looking forward for your feedback

[piggymouse]

Выношу свой комментарий к одному закрытому посту.

Кстати, давно хотел поднять тему по мотивам анекдота про морскую свинку. Уже является общим местом та идея, что software engineers нифига не engineers. После попыток чтения PMBOK и подневольного посещения соответствующих курсов я начинаю думать, что software project managers нифига не project managers.

Какие будут мнения?

Update: А software bugs нифига не bugs!

Мнение такое, что надо поспать про это дело ;)

Скалка ладно, а вот чего это тебе не спится в ночь глухую? У вас там в Оулу полярное сияние случилось? ;)

Не до сна

Ага. А software bugs нифига не bugs. Тенденция, однако.

Да! Да! Спасибо!

Тут же вспомнилась тема с копирайтом пользователя tyrex. Там было так: application – applet, service – servlet, кот – котлет.

As if software development is a development, computer mice are mice, and "thanks-for-submitting-your-resume-we'll-look-at-it-and-touch-base-with-you-next-week" has to do with baseball.

I always thought that when an attractive HR manager tells you "I'll find this out for you and we'll touch base next week" it's extremely suggestive. Many HR managers are attractive, and all of them love this expression.

As you know, nothing upsets a woman more then ignoring her advances. So if I were you, I would reply to the attractive HR representative: "Sure, love. Which base would you like me to touch next week - first, second or third?"

I'm risking here because I don't know the exact meaning of the bases (albeit familiar with the concept in general). And with their carnegian logic, you never know if they actually mean any of the bases or just want to please the employee.

Well, according to my daughter, the exact meaning of the bases is: first is lips, second is breasts, third - you get the idea.

And yes, of course they just want to please the employee, the question is how far would they go in that desire ;)

[oxfv.livejournal.com]

It looks like you are not an HR manager, my dear. It's pretty obvious that they are specifically trained to inspire employees with false sense of pleasing (for instance by joggling the bases in the conversation) while doing nothing to actually address their thirst.

As to my getting the idea, I'm not sure. What is the third base anyway - touching the skirt? the panties? underneath the panties? inside whatever's underneath the panies? and most importantly - form the front or from the back? and even more most importantly - WITH WHAT?

It looks like you are a software engineer, sweetie. You have to break a general idea into exact details, otherwise you cannot start the implementation. ;)

True said! And I always suspected that all this ado about bases is a theoretical crap without any substance behind it. Is "looking at" equivalent to "laying one's hands on" and to "getting utterly intimate with particular body parts"? And if not, where's the line?
