I have worked at both as an employee at both large and small companies as well as on some large and crazy software rollouts. The individual stories never actually struck me as all that surprising nor even funny.
You want is when?
That is actually a funny punchline in a Dilbert cartoon but not so much when it is your project manager and the deadline is quite unreasonable. It was not my work life that would have caused me to put pen to paper.
If it were not for an incident in the kitchen with my children. I thought we needed a few items from the hardware store and so I informed my kids we would be visiting the baumarkt this weekend. I though that my parental visage would be enough to ensure that this would not only be a good idea but also “the plan”.
It was the minor rebellion to my plans but more the reactions of our family that reminded me what is not funny at the moment to me may indeed be funny to others. In the end I had to ensure my boys that there were a lot of rules on the internet and one of them was as follows.
Saturday is baumarkt day if mom is working at the hospital
This rule does now live on the internet and I will strive to fill the internet with other fun little stories from work as well as a few from my children.
Enjoy ….
