Prepare To Be Inspired

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Or not. Just a couple of random thoughts for this weekend. It’s been a crazy weekend of college football so far, with at least 4 Top 10 teams losing, a couple of huge underdogs (Navy, Maryland) winning, and my alma mater Rice scoring 77 points in a game (they won this time). Even Duke won an ACC game (yes, the one that earlier argued it was the worst football team in America). Yup, this is why I like rooting for the underdog (at least, most of the time — I’ll still root for Rice if they are favored).

But I also wanted to leave you with this note. I’m working on a very large program (over 9-figure total expenditure) at my current place of employment. The program manager (a good guy) has posted one of those demotivator posters near his cubicle, hopefully as a joke. The poster is shown below. The punchline is that our program is actually nicknamed Pyramid.

Well, last week Dilbert captured some of the frustrations of being a project manager. These rang very true for me. Hope you at least get a chuckle out of them.
