Where is Bob?
Tales of an absentee manager.


Someone linked to this on another forum, and I found it entertaining and well-written, so I thought I'd share.
(Some of you IT people may even relate, I imagine)

Here's one of the [nerdy] highlights:

I recommend reading it chronologically (bottom to top). A nice way to kill 15 minutes on a slow Friday, at the very least.

Good reading.

Reminds me of Office Space.

Fun stuff.

"Bob's Other Job" seems like a bit of a rip-off from The Office episode where Michael is found to be a phone salesman in the evenings.
