Where's Bear?

Means nowt to me, but if it's what he does, then fine.

I think it's one who manages projects.

Aye.

 

Well even with your limited skills you manage well enough here.

 

Well I knew he didn't like you, but he's going a bit far (IMO) making
you look as much of a **** as he does.

 

There's more than one way of looking at that statement.

 

Oh, the irony.

You really are a deeply unpleasant person.

 

The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

It's newspeak for programmer harrassment.

 

It's hard to believe he actually said that. Stupidity of that level is
almost worth unkillfiling him for.

Apparently he's really nice in real life. It must be true 'cos he said
so.

Maybe you should ask Tallbloke what he thinks 'cos he seems to like him.

Heh. I know that most people's Usenet persona bears little relationship
to their real-life one. In Des's case I've concluded that he really,
genuinely is not a nice person. No one can act that well.

 

Ah.

 

It's newspeak for "worker harrasment"; I'm not a programmer but I get
harrassed by Project and Programme Managers. Mind you, I've done a bit
of Project Management and it's not a bad job; being paid for being a bit
of a ****.

Well, I've done project-type management and I hated it. I'd much
rather be a simple programmer and be done with it.

 

Very well. In he stays.

 

Paying it lip service, you mean?

 

Well, I like being accountable for stuff, my decisions making a
difference and the "leverage" that management (or in this case project
management) gives you; getting a team of people pulling together in the
direction you want them to and delivering in the way that you want it
delivered (approximately) is satisfying.

 

Ba-dom tish.

 

These things are roughly my career goals.
