Some days, when putting together websites, I get the very real need to start chanting and using one of these fancy boards that you see the monks with here:
Of course, one could really use such a fine board in any number of manners:
- When the kids decide to do something that only their mother might potentially approve of.
- When your boss decides to have you do something so diametrically opposed to what you should be doing that you really must wonder why you are working for him and not the other way around.
- When you look at who your choices might be for a new, better leader and find only the names Trump and Clinton on the list.
- When your kids come home from school spouting an obvious lie that their teachers sold them hook, line, and sinker... which they probably got from the mainstream media (our kids actually came home one day claiming that every fish in the sea died due to an oil spill...)
Truly, the list for these fine mechanisms goes on and on. I only wish that I had one back when I worked at Atari as a database administrator. The support techs all complained about how going into my office was guaranteed to make them feel like they were being idiots. If only I had one of these props to smack myself with for the punchline ;)
My defense to management, of course, was that they were indeed being idiots and that I wasn't going to let them off the hook without pointing as much out.
Anywise, just had another gregorian chant board moment and figured I'd share.
