Here’s Roy the Job Opportunity Cowboy meeting a Microsoft developer. This is one of many videos available on the View My World channel, which is part of Microsoft’s recruiting efforts. In each video, Roy’s song is followed by an employee describing, with cowboy lingo, what s/he does for the company.

“ It’s a win-win situation. For me.

I’m going to have a hard time not bringing this up if someone uses this expression at work. I feel like this conversion has a lot of potential for nerdy, meeting derailing jokes.

Sabotage Manual from 1944 Advises Acting Like Average 2008 Manager »

mills:

From thedaytheytriedtokillme. Best manual ever. You really need to see the full PDF. I happen to be a totally average 2008 manager, and I can assure you that these principles are instinctive to me. Honestly, this is my company in list form. (What’s with all the quotation marks, though?)

 (1) Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

(2) Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate “patriotic” comments.

(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and considera­tion.” Attempt to make the committees as large as possible — never less than five.

(4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

(5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

(6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

(7) Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

(8) Be worried about the propriety of any decision — raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the juris  diction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.

This is great stuff.
