Reasons why I mix my coffee with whiskey, my list of bodies I have buried in the woods, and other thoughts while shaving

[Scuttlesoap]

Could have been worse I guess…could have been man-poo.

I stepped in that once- at a DC Metro station - in a brand new set of dress shoes - back in the days when I had to wear a suit……….Luckily I had a pair of sneakers in my bag - I said not worth it - just threw away the shoes right there and then…..

Hey - here’s something that turned my frown upside down! - I see that my non-shaving purchased TSC Shaving Tshirts are in my hometown UPS - should get them today (weather dependent) or tomorrow.

Guys, since Brian's day started out literally cra**, should we let SHAVING cadre shirts slide as a non-shaving purchase?

Brian - you drinking at work? Nope boss - that’s just my shave soap, aftershave, and/or cologne.

Nothing says upscale & class like a shaving brush with its own coaster!

So there! Nice little pick me up shave - because I feel like drinking at work today lol - here’s how my week has started.
Project Manager: Customer says that your draft plan is good - but wants us to consider using Y tool instead of X Tool.
Brian: Is Y Tool a requirement or a suggestion?
PM: They said suggestion.
Brian: No worries - we’ve already bought X tool - and since our team knows how to use it, we’ll keep it and built Y tool at the end of the deployment (because we know our customer). That way we have the function of X Tool and we get to migrate our data and test without delaying the project and then the Customer gets Y tool at the end (and we have time to train our people before we go live).

Fast forward to project plan is finalized along with costs and schedule……
2 Hours before brief….

PM: The customer says that Y tool that was a suggestion is not really a suggestion - they need it.
Brian: Did they say requirement?
PM: No they said it was a very strong suggestion.
Brian: Ok, if we deploy it now - we will have a 3 week delay to go through the procurement, design, and implementation…….
PM: The customer doesn’t want to delay the project but wants the Y tool before you are allowed to migrate data.

Have a great day!

PM: It's okay. I'll take care of it and work up a project charter modification proposal for them. We'll add 3 weeks and $120k to the cost for the alteration, with a $10k charge for the proposal alteration draft even if they decline.



BTW The brush handle fits the boozy theme, as it looks like a beer with a head.

The Brush is called the IPA! There are little bubbles in it (I think that was intentional)

Tricky, set that up as the assumption with all these alcohol scents you have.

 

[GearNoir]

Ah…the headache of working with people

Maybe the days shaves scents could hide the aroma of a glass or two of adult beverage in the cubicle afterall…

 

[NurseDave]

I dunno about X and Y, but I have an extra hammer if that helps.

I may need it just to hit myself over the head with it to dull the pain

Plus we get to wear face masks - so I may be able to pull it off!
