The "expert"
Mar. 30th, 2004 09:18 am**Project: A SVGA high-def 20" monitor network through my workplace, displaying critical production stats real time.**
Earlier I noticed a fellow known as "the god" was staying on from night shift for a little over time. Now "the god" is expert in all things under the sun. In a meeting enviroment, he can bring up some very good feedback and honest opinion.
The flip side of the coin is that when you are working on something, he is full of negative opinions. 'Why are you doing that like that? I don't like the color. Put it somewhere else. How much did that cost? Now if it was up to me.... Thats stupid, I have no use for that. Why don't you customise it just for me? What if I want to get my e-mail through this? Can it display sports scores? Why did you pick "drdoom" for a password? Now, ya know....'. All while you are attempting to work.
In short, the entire universe revolves around this guy.
I asked my boss if we could put it off until after "the god" left for the day. He did then see my wisdom, and agreed.
