work A brief CDI reminiscence

Posted August 18, 2005 • Comments Off on A brief CDI reminiscence

I just found this story in cleaning out my ftp server. It’s even better than the last one. Shelley’s fans: rejoice.

This is edited down from a Medievia formlog, so please excuse the weird punctuation and lazy capitalization.

‘elizabeth, who’s in charge of managing projects and version control, sent out an email to everyone with some simple reminders of version control processes’.

‘like to put the date on your files and mark stuff with your initials’.

‘simple shit’.

‘shelley printed this email, and wrote the following words on the printout:’.

‘in all caps, cause she writes in all caps’.

‘I HIT THE ROOF. ELIZABETH IS NOT TO BE SENDING INSTRUCTIONS TO EVERYONE.’.

‘then she gave the printout, so marked, to elizabeth’.

‘and told her to write up an email about version control so that shelley could send it out under her OWN name’.

‘and the email that “shelley” will be sending out differs from elizabeth’s original email only in that where elizabeth used the word “please” shelley crossed it out’.
