From an email thread with Kenny McBride, the Industry Manager for Microsoft Capital Markets. Some of it is fairly internal stuff, e.g. the Charlotte reference is to Kenny's management who is based there instead of NY for very poor reasons. Also my old job as Industry Technical Strategist (ITS) was filled today by someone who is basically a cronie for the new manager.
I was in a standards body meeting on the phone all day:
Mark:
ACORD XML
Exciting like a forest fire
Or watching paint dry
Kenny:
Standards Bodies
Knitting needles in the eyes
But far more painful
Discussing the New Charlotte-based management for Kenny's current and my old team
Mark:
The old VSU
Sinks near needle sharp pines
As the hot air cools
Kenny:
Management Styles differ
I was just going to suggest that
Lets build a scorecard
Mark:
Great suggestion Ken!
Be more proactive and feel
the paradigm shift!
Kenny:
Red Yellow Green
The Killer Deck creeps silently
From Building 22 into trash
Mark:
ITS still open?
Many qualified candidates
Live close to Charlotte
Kenny (with not so strict adherence to the forms)
ITS Just Closed
Sitting on the dock of a bay
Ideal incestuous incremental improvments
Mark:
Ring a bell, yell, shout!
Sing the praises of surprise
predestination
Kenny:
An offsite will enable
B’s to hire C’s
All in order to please
Mark:
Let’s have a meeting!
If we gaze at our navel,
profits will follow!
Kenny:
Glib vertical pretences
Make the innocent all work and no play
In then out of the fray
Mark:
Adults speak caution
but every child also knows
“I can drive this car”
