The David Elliott Page |
 |
| I had to raise a change-request to my ISP before
they would allow me to FTP this page to them for general viewing. Obviously, Dave had made
a couple of phone calls to ensure that correct procedure was followed and that any commas
were fully covered by documentation (in triplicate) complete with diagrams and
disclaimers. There were certain things that happened after Dave took over from Rob Smith as the head honcho of the Tools Team. Firstly, he began by telling me off in meetings for moving the microphone across the top of the desks in the video-conf room by using footpower alone. He then proceeded in bringing in .............. TUPPERWARE !!!! Dave is always eating something that resembles rotting flesh crawling with maggots at least three times each morning and, then again, every afternoon. I think the same rancid spoon has been stashed away in his desk drawer, unwashed, each day for the last eleven months !! When he is not eating, the decibel-level that he raises on his keyboard when he sends out every bit of information possible via Lotus Notes to anyone that cares to read it is deafening. It is like Lionel Blair with his tap-dancing shoes on in a paddy-field in Vietnam !! Dave has an armoury of defences to any attack on his project plans: "I am not a techie, what does this mean then?" "Raise a change request and then we'll see what happens" "That is BAU......... I'm not concerned with BAU !" "They need to re-vamp their processes and THEN come to us!" "Has that follically-challenged person ordered another G&T?" There are many other things that, I'm sure, could be written about Dave but, as he has got to hand my skills(?) over to my new boss, I had better keep quiet for the moment. Sorry this is such a 'quiet' page but Dave is a comparative recluse who loves his keyboard too much to participate in normal life !! |
