10 Things that suck about being a consultant

Posted in Uncategorized

I’m going to make this a slightly more serious post than Bitter Marl’s for the following reasons

  • I used up all my funny juices with yesterdays post
  • I’m drunk
  • Marl’s much funnier than I
  • I’m drunk
  • Today I elected to remove myself from the promotions lists as I have a snowballs chance in being promoted and not becsue I don’t deserver it
  • I’m drunk

Right without further adue [you all can correct that spelling in the morning] 10 things I hate about being a constultant

  1. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  2. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  3. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  4. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  5. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  6. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  7. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  8. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  9. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons
  10. I haven’t been promoted for the last 4 years when all my peers have largely do to politcal reasons

Ok, I’m drunk and bitter and upset. Even though there is more dpeth and compexity to this than the post belighes, it upsets me that I am taking my name off the list (for good reasons) and have to watch another set of my peers get promoted.
Right now it’s not the intelecctual understanding that counts but the fact that life isn’t fair that counts.
Right now I wish I was a lawyer!

  1. Is it just me or dumber people just land up getting promoted the whole time. And its not the whole emotional intelligence thing either. I suggest that we both start playing golf instead of working – that seems like the route to fortune…

  2. I think the chances of promotion may be related to spelling and punctuation.
    If I was in a position to do so, I’d give you a hug, as you clearly need one. Especially if you were to wear those fishnets.

  3. I would always welcome a hug Graybo, but I didn’t write this post.
    I would remember if I did. Must have been someone else. Poor schmuck.

  4. Objection – to Graybo. Poor speller our Adrain might be, but he’s dead good at maths, and I reckon that that’s what counts in his business. I would second the hug thing if I was remotely touchy-feely, but I’m not. Also the fishnets comment frightened me slightly.

  6. let’s just say I’m not as thrilled by the idea of Adrian in them as you are.

  7. Hey, you tried to get me into fishnets on more than one occasion.

  10. Emails can be spoofed, you know.
