swx related humor (maybe humorous, maybe not)

bob z. sent a 'mass email' to all of his co-workers (and yes, bob z. copied
the IT genius). you guys might find some humor in it:

Gentlemen,

I must first apologize for not getting this timeline to you sooner. O.K.? I
am sorry for not getting this timeline to you sooner.

As you may already know, SolidWorks Corporation released a new version of
their solid modelling cad package that we all use (SolidWorks). They
released version - '2004' on July 7, 2003.

Below you will find our sheduled timline for the roll-out of this very
powerful release.

12/1/03 Test machine with SolidWorks 2004 loaded. Users (that is all of us)
are urged to load current projects to look for possible concerns or issues.

1/4/04 Have final configuration (user settings, templates, etc.) set for
roll-out to everyone.

1/16/04 SolidWorks 2004 will be loaded on everyone's computer along with the
next release of Windows® Operating System software.

1/16/04 CATI comes here to show us "What's New".

Please, if you have any concerns with the breakneck speed at which this is
progressing, by all means, let me know! I am sure with some teamwork, we can
put our heads together and find a way to add some weeks or even months to
this timeline.

Way to go Bob Z.

Looks like something I would have done. Any who, if you want to see what's
new before the break neck timeline comes of "fruission", you can go here to
a powerpoint presentation I did at our last SW user group meeting...

May be of some interest to ole Bob Z, and/or others. It is a pretty darn
good presentation, if I say so myself.

Mr. Pickles

 

very nice presentation! bob z. sent the link to it to everyone in here.
thanks!

 

No problem Bob Z. Glad to be of assistance to a happy go lucky soul like
yourself.

As for your current "Slogan": "people with less brain power than you are
doing more difficult things everyday"©,

this is very true. I know some of these people, as they are the ones that
are called management where I work....

 

One correction here. You are, of course, referring to Microsoft Windows(tm).
Not "Windows," as that refers to a generic GUI "windowing" system.

Holding my breath for Longshot in 2008,
nick e.

p.s. ok, actually two corrections. you forgot to add a step to purchase and
install more memory in each user machine in order to deal with the
increased system requirements for the latest Microsoft Windows(tm)
Operating System<sic>.

 

you are SO very right about those corrections. bob z. was trying to be
silly in a stupid way (putting the little 'registered, blah-blah' symbol in
there).

thanks!

 

you are the first person to comment on that little 'tagline'. bob z.
thought that it was a blast of extraordinary genius when he came up with it.

sorry to hear about your managent, though...

I also like the one where a NASA scientist is quoted something like
"Hell, rocket science isn't even rocket science."
