What I do for my job....

I'm launching a software project tomorrow at work. The project is code named "Jupiter" (they all have a planet theme & we're saving a really "good" project for "Uranus" ...). So I always bring food / snacks to my meetings because its just about the only way to get people to show up because everyone has so much shit going on. So I made the "snacks" tonite -- a giant chocolate chip cookie in the shape of a circle - Jupiter. Then used red peanut M&Ms as the Red Spot, and butterscotch, white chocolate & regular chocolate chips melted to be the rest of the atmosphere.

Turned out pretty good if you ask me:

Yea well, we didnt ask you. Just kidding, looks like a massive gaseous planet if you ask me.
 
Damn hung! ... e-flirt? e-stalk? e-smart ass?

No mayo in hell tho -- it tends to go bad pretty quickly in the heat.

CUTE! I would eat the entire red spot. =-)
 
OK, so how all that work paid off (or didn't..)


- 1/2 the people supposed to come to the meeting were snowed in at various customer sites or out sick.
- the entire engineering staff was in another meeting (another OMG fire)
- the NOC manager & 1 ops guy showed up, and then one of the sales guys. The sales guy brought his list of shit from one of the customrs and started askign questions about "I dont' see this item addressed" (item from the customer shit list). Um, that wasn't assigned to me & its not scoped in this release - I think its an ops item not related to my release. So then he freaks out about well what are we going to tell the customer??? (Face to face trip to customer site on 2/28) - I'm like - dude there's no one here from the engineering staff and i'm sorry but we havent' gotten to the detailed design yet to show these people what we are going to do. He's like - so we're just goign to look stupid in front of hte customer? Im' like - dude, its a week away, relax. He woudln't let it the hell go. I'm like dude, you sound like a whiny little bitch. GAWD.

So I also forgot to bring a damn knife and its near impossible to cut through melted chocoolate chips w/ a plastic knife. So we're down to just pulling chunks off the cookie.

By the end of the meeting, no one seems to give a shit abotu that particular release, the sales guy won't eat the fucking cookie but won't let his stupid list of shit go even though that's not what the meeting was about. Everyone else left. No one from my dept wants to eat the cookie, so I finally put it in the kitchen. Then met up w/ my boss as he was going out the door. I went down the elevator w/him to discuss some stuff. By the time I got back, only about 1/8 of the cookie was left.

I honestly either wanted to kick out the window (12th floor) and toss the fucking cookie out or just quit. Not sure I'm going to bother baking for these fuckers any more.

don't bother with them. I would be far more grateful. Save a pregnant lady -- send cookies! :qt:
 
That was doomed to failure since the beginning

Food/drink is not a good idea

You need a better incentive that does not require knife, spoons etc and can be done in just a few minutes

So next time either bring some strippers or just promise you'll show your tits if at least 75% people show up and stay until the end

I don't know if I'll ever fit into Corporate America. I mean, in the military, when there is a meeting on the calendar (plenty of notice, deconflicted, approved by the boss, etc) and you're invited, you show up, on time and prepared to provide constructive input.

that depends entirely on the culture of the company bor.
 
Where I work its all driven by "the CTO said"... and he's ADHD, and whatever he pulls out of his ass is randomly overridden by " the CEO said". In other words wherever things could've been planned & designed correctly, they said "eh fuck it, good enough for now, we'll deal w/ it later", then later arrives, it breaks, customer starts threatening to pull contract, CTO steps in & says OK everyone, new project, its due next week.
