Don't Do What Donny Don't Does
« on: January 23, 2008, 01:53:52 PM »

How To Move Your Whole Damn Company:

DO - Have many meetings for months in advance in order to prepare.
DON'T - Have them at 8:00 in the morning, and then talk about the same God Damned thing for 6 straight weeks.

DO - Promise to have plenty of boxes, bags, bubble wrap, crates, etc... so people can have their stuff packed and ready to go on time.
DON'T - Completely fail to provide any of those things in a timely manner.

DO - Meticulously map out where all cubes, benches, cabinets, etc... are coming from and where they're going.
DON'T - Have some hicks come up into one of my labs, have them ask each other if they "are moving these benches that are on the map", and then have the answer be "no".

DO - Go over in advance what the network and power requirements will be.
DON'T - Wait until moving day to let someone in to check.

DO - Build a beautiful new eco-friendly campus with views of the hill country.
DON'T - Build it over the aquifer watershed and then not be finished with it when it's time for my lab to move in.

and lastly,

DO - Give me a free cup of coffee and breakfast taco for my trouble
DON'T - Give me a fucking *coupon* for a cup of coffee and a taco

I hope these handy tips help you guys out the next time you move 5,000+ employees across town.

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

Actually it sounds comparatively well organized.

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

Well you have a kid, so we can assume, that at least you once did.
