Fake Work
March 10, 2004
I just had a meeting like this:
Them: "We need to have a new page about the new Strategic Plan by next Wednesday."
Me: "Ok, I'll make sure it gets done. Just send me the information."
Them: "Oh, we don't really have any information ready."
Me: "Uh . . . Ok. Just email it to me when you have it and I'll have it online in just a few minutes."
Them: "We also need an evaluation form that people can fill out that will plug into a database."
Me: "Let me guess: you don't have the questions for the form nor an inkling of how you'd like it done?"
Them: "How did you know?"
Me: "Just a hunch. I'm leaving now."
Them: "Do you want to play with my Legos®?"
Me: "Oh jeez, take that out of your nose."
So, what am I doing? Working on all that "fake work" they gave me? Hell, no! I'm writing about how crazy they are. I promise the entire year hasn't been like this.
Amazing how people think that since you are the one to make the web page for them, that you will also invent all the content, huh?
I just got a voicemail that said, "Jill. Apparently nobody told you of the change. Instead of 2.25 it needs to be 2.0, okay?" I have no clue what they're talking about.
