Two more nuggets from life as a consultant.
It’s probably not a great idea to draw attention to yourself by BitTorrenting at the client site. Nor is it good form to give your computer a name that includes profanity. Combine them and you might have to own up to it when the client IT staff publicly ask, “Who here has the computer called ‘Little Bitch’?” No, I don’t make this stuff up, people…
At a company update today, a manager spoke about ramping up our new accounting personnel. “It’s gonna take a little time for them to get immersed and catch up.” But I swear to god that what I heard was “It’s gonna take a little time for them to get immersed in ketchup.” Kinda blew my chunks on that one. I guess the old consultant hazing practises are still alive and well!
