My earlier post made me think of the image below, which was making the email rounds a few years ago. I don’t even remember who sent it to me or where it came from, but it’s always been one of my favorites.

Spoiler Warning
A video Let's Play series I collaborated on from 2009 to 2017.

Bureaucracy would have designed it like the analyst, except without the left-side support.
Instead there would be hanging from the left branch at least one geegaw (insisted on by the legal department), a whatsit (to fulfill Minority/Women Business subcontracting goals) and a dumbfoozle (required to obtain federal funding), and they would be balanced by a huge thingamajig to the right (forced on the project by a politician).
And don’t forget the peons sticking bandaids on the cracks in the remaining support…
Oh good lord. And I just heard today our analysts are so far behind us programmers are being retasked with writing requirements. For stuff that’s already been developed, natch.
I think I must post this on my cube.
Ha! Sounds like our work! I mean, not where I work now…another place. A place I USED to work at, you know…before.
I like the subtle Discworld reference…
HAHAHAHA…. it just keeps getting better!
