People that watch a video of a law-abiding cyclist getting run over by a taxi and use the comment to b1tch and moan about that time they saw cyclists riding 4 abreast on xxx road...

Relevant much?

Many of them don't even know that when you take part in a sanctioned event you are allowed to ride anywhere on the left side of the white line.

Discovering after a really long hard day that during the course of it, someone left a nasty scrape on your car bumper while you were at the shops.

No note, of course. Bloody fools

They are called consultants.
Yes let us take this offline because we don't want to boil the ocean here so I'll just ping you a note so that we can drill down into this while considering it holistically.

People that use the term "wheelhouse".
Never heard that one before. I bet someone started using it as a joke.

You've got that gene variation shared by an estimated 14% of the population.

Agreed, if all parameters are taken into consideration , and adequate analysis is done with adequate kpi's established we should be able to mind map an adequate plan of action to ensure we are able to create a workable solution.

Will send you a 100 page summary shortly to explain the first point we discussed.

haha yes. Its a skill I'm trying to acquire though. Not for day to day use, but I've noticed that when pushed into a corner
its a useful plan B to be able to bullsht your way through a conference call with buzzwords and vague language.

You just have to try and hide that "deer in the headlights" look on your face when they first ask the question. After that it's easy going

nah the comment is a bit connected to my recent project manager thread...I noticed there are people who's primary skill in life seems to be to talk ka,k in conference calls.

I don't want to be one of those...want to contribute actual value, but as a skillset that seems very useful as plan B

(This from my brother in law who lives in Sandton, Jhb)

ADT - sign you up, promise the earth (close to it). Alarm is tested and communicates via telephone and radio. Following week, test alarm again, no call back. So phone ADT. Never heard of you they said, phone numbers not on record. Deny ever receiving signals. Installer calls again, verifies all parameters ok with ADT, sends a signal, they call back to house.

Wait 2 weeks and set off alarm by mistake. No call back. Phone ADT again, what is your house phone. No, nobody with that number, what is your cell - yes we see you here but have had no signals. Call installer again who resends (for the 3rd time) all details by email, calls Customer Care and verifies that all is captured, she will see to it she says

Next day, set off alarm, no call back

Phone sales agent, quite shirty, must be some error she says, those installers are dodgy (ADT verified and approved), sends their own fellows out. He can find nothing the matter. Alarm working now. Receive bill for R650 for "service call"

Cancel everything and send them a lawyer's letter. No comment from ADT but they process debit order for 3 months
