Re: (OFF TOPIC) EDI Pet (Peeve) Phrases
"It's highly configurable"
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
"It's very easy"
for me ... but i'm going to make you feel some pain if you want me to do it
"It's a five minute task"
ibid.
"What the **** were they smoking when they coded this?"
come on, that's what you wanted to say ...
"Were you born knowing EDI?"
yes ... and lots of other fun stuff.
"I have a direct client ..."
This position hasn't been filled in a year, and if I can find someone to
fill it, maybe they'll pay me a commission. Note,
the average consultant pays the salary for approximately three others
based on the usual 50% mark-up. I'm not that
expensive, feel free to call me directly.
"It's an all-inclusive rate."
You want a beer, you have to pay for it now. Ditto hotel, airfare,
meals, cabs, strippers, in-room movies and calls to
the 1-900 line and any other extravagant expense report item. If I get
paid $60, that means that I was billed at $120.
Why can't the expenses come off the top? Hurts the profit of the
prior-mentioned three placement executives. Also
leads to dancing :)
