Funny Video of the Day

Oh...you're one of THOSE guys. First post too. Nice.

EVERYONE GO HOME, codeflux HAS ALREADY SEEN THIS SO ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!!!!
 
I always love watching this video. In my job I feel like this a lot.
 
This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to keep living in my van, down by the river, and begging for cash. I'm looking for a job now and this makes me mental_puke to think I will be putting myself back into this kind of shit. Fuck this world.

(yes I know its a joke video, but it does draw on some things quite real)
 
No wonder I don't get invited to these kind of meetings. My answer would be "Hey, retard, your requirements don't make sense!"
 
I go through this all the time. They always act like I am trying to be difficult or I am making up the amount of hours I say it will take me. In reality, I am completely indifferent.
 
Their expert needs to be replaced.

You can have an arbitrary number of perp lines provided you increase the number of dimensions by one for each additional perpendicular line. 7 lines = 7 dimensions

And every line can be red along with blue and green, and invisible, as long as you use infrared ink.
 
Thank You Steve

In just 3 minutes time, this video destroyed 7 years of psycho-therapy.
 
I am amazed all the forum members are the "specialists" in their company. None of us could possibly be any of the others, eh? :)
 
Well, I find myself in this situation and have learned to respond with "Interesting ideas. I'll need a day to produce some prototypes for your review." I then give them 3 options from literal to imaginative and let them choose. Usually one of these works fine.

we better also just get off the internet all together while at it, he might have seen other things before us also.
 
Totally hilarious.....I really started lol'ing at about 3 mins.....At first I was like 'this sucks', and then it hit me as well. Damn clever.

Now I can see why so many people argued that the dress was blue and black.
 
truth be told, that video makes me angry. i'm a software developer, and that video hits too close to home.
 
sadly I'm in too many meetings like this nowadays. Everyone of the "consultants" we bring could fit into this video seamlessly.
 
"Red transparent lines"

I have lost count how many times the client has asked for that over the years.
 
Yea, I've already seen it. Still, watched it again. It's still hilarious. Pretty damn accurate, too.

You're an expert, you need to do this.

Um. That just won't work. Sorry.

You need to do it. We can't work without it.

Tough luck. Talk to my boss. He'll tell you the same thing....

The "others" would never step foot in a place like this.

They are the type of people who work in politics and and management and have no clue about anything, but try to push their asinine ideas on everybody else.
 
I've seen it before, and it's really hard for me to watch the whole thing. That poor, poor expert. Way too close to home.

I can say the US Army for one.

At the US Army Field Station in Korea, we spent about two weeks focusing on developing training materials for all the job positions, a list of task with fancy names and "So simple a caveman could do it", instructions.

A couple of months later we have a big exercise and afterwards a training meeting to discuss where we are in our training plan following the big exercise. The Major in charge of our Unit asks how my people did on a particular task, but that task's description was specific to equipment that another team operates. I told him my guys don't perform that task, that it was for the other system and He replies by asking in that demanding tone "Didn't your guys just spend a week doing Targeting Operations and I replied yes, but they were doing it according to the other Task. He refused to accept that he was out to lunch on the whole thing and basically backed me up till I had to relent with the old "Stone Faced Yesir, Nosir" routine. Afterwards a Warrant Officer whispers to me that we might have to relook our training materials and how we identify our tasks. I had argued from the beginning that the tasks should be "Equipment Neutral" and not tied to a specific system. I suppose I was right for what little good it did me.
 
My meatings are more like.

My boss: So I see you have not sent the costumers their modems yet.
Me: I told you seven times in the last few weeks that we are out of modems you were saying you were going to order more. How is that going?
Boss: I'll get back to you about that.

Next meeting.

Boss: So why have you not send the modems yet?
Me: I still don't have any to send.
