I basically write out the instructions with the movie "Stripes" in mind. "I, state your name..." The aliens that snatched the bodies of every mid level and above IT manager don't seem to understand even the simplest human instructions. It is their undoing...

Sometimes it's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning knowing that out there , there on the highways, in the boardrooms, etc... are these folks that I am absolutely awed by (awed by the fact that they can somehow manage to dress themselves, operate a vehicle, schedule a meeting). Yes, this does have a bit of relevance here as well. These folks, these people whom I wouldn't trust to pick fleas off of a small dog's ass, are also the ones that HIRE the testers in the article. The guy who knows how to write the instructions (or maybe even actually program) is just a place holder for "cheaper and more easily managed labor". IE, he's history soon.

I'm going back to sleep now and praying that the electricity doesn't go out on such a hot evening for fear that XElectric Co hasn't laid off/force retired every expensive engineer that actually knows how to fix "electric problems".
