Sometimes, when dealing with our stakeholders, we get into conversations that I like to paraphrase thusly:

I want something. but I leave it to other people to figure out what I want.
And make it purple. Cause that has more rams. More rams are better.
It’s my project, but don’t expect me to make decisions about it.
It needs to do everything I want, just how I want it.
But I’m not going to tell you how I want it to be done. Cause that’s private.
And if it doesn’t work, it’s your fault. Why can’t you just do it.
I need it yesterday.

Quote of the day

The one positive thing you could say about the bread products around him was that they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked. *Forged* was a better term. Dwarf bread was made as a meal of last resort and also as a weapon and a currency. Dwarfs were not, as far as Vimes knew, religious in any way, but the way they thought about bread came close.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
