YEA!!! My 179 score is tops so far, so is it safe to say that I am Queen of Bullshit on DZ.com??? :ph34r:B|;)



Pretty much - so far at least.

Sure why not, your stress levels will increase by 50% though, so be warned.

Actually I'm not sure if I'm going to that meeting or not, I come in at 7 and start declining meetings I don't absolutely have to go to. Then try to figure out how to clone myself for the rest of the meetings. :P

I don't even need to take the test to know my job is bullshit (I did score a 56, but that's only because I've changed over the years to no longer care, otherwise I would have scored higher). I just came back from lunch with a few of my work colleagues and I serious wonder whether I should ever do this again. Let me summarize what myself and a few of my work colleagues did this weekend.

I made 9 BASE jumps at the Perrine bridge this weekend. Had I not gone BASE jumping, I would have been at the DZ doing roughly the same amount of skydives.

Work colleague #1 (married male mid 30s) worked on setting up some Solaris computers all weekend. Nice guy and all, but definitely a geek.

Work colleague #2 (single male about 24 years old) spent the weekend watching TV, working in the garden and reading up on more computer technologies.

Work colleague #3 (single female about 27 years old) spent the weekend at the Malls buying ... oh what was it ... nine outfits, three pairs of shoes, a bunch of candles, lamp shades ... oh you know the rest. This girl is attractive and all that, but is so high maintenance it is not funny. She always shows up to work with a new outfit and is always late to the bullshit morning meeting only because she likes making dramatic entrances to get comments about her outfits. Oh and don't even get me going about her, her TiVO and her reality TV shows.

Aie-karumba I say (and I don't give a damn if they read this).

So who is more messed up? Me for putting my life on the line with my 9 BASE jumps? Or these people who's only purpose in life is their careers, their image and status symbols and their stupid TV shows.

You know what is sad, is I use to be like you, out playing hard on week night evenings and weekends. Now I'm all 3 of your co-workers into one, well not so much the 3rd one, but I did go shopping this weekend for a lamp shade and I am late for meetings, but that is only cause I was up till midnight the night before working and 7am is way to early for a F*&King meeting.

I'm now the poster child for a Woman who does to much but doesn't have time to do what she enjoys. I'm currently selling my skydiving gear because I don't have time to take trips anyway to go skydive.

Kelli ... you are not at all like my co-workers. You are much cooler even if you're not jumping as much as you used to. At least you and Hook get out every once and a while to hit the mountains skiing/boarding and/or climbing.

And just think - now you can aspire to ulcers, high blood pressure and an early grave!

77. Knowing who Jakob Nielsen is didn't help. If they followed that with a "You think he's full of shit" option, it probably would have lowered the score. I went ahead an e-mailed a rant. Thought I'd share here, too. It's tough to do cutting edge work with these kinds of roadblocks. This is what I put up with everyday.

I have a form on a web site with two things on it -- an input field and a submit button. One of my four bosses (out of nine employees) just came to me and said she, "couldn't figure it out because it's not at all intuitive." WTF? She asked me to add some instructions on how to use the form. When I responded, "there already are instructions," she retorted, "well, it doesn't say that you need to click the button after entering your e-mail address." What else do you do? Enter your e-mail address and wait until the magic box realizes you're done?! Not intuitive? There's only one fucking button!

I refused to do something this absurd, so she had our web developer (not me, the "senior" web developer) do it, because he's a fucking lackey. Managers fail to see that what makes them too stupid to use a one button form is also what prevents them from being able to do my job. I'm about two seconds from locking a thousand cats in here overnight.

My definition of learning is to be able to master one scenario and then use it as a possible solution to another. Example - In Word, you click "file", then "print". So...in Excel, you click which buttons to print?

People give excellent reasons for basic reasoning skills. Somehow, because it is a computer, they feel ok with not trying to think. I refer to this phenomenon as the "techno-turnip".
