I've got a lot of catching up to do on this blog. One of the things I have queued up is some quotes from my colleague Dave. Most of these are from a recent three day conference we sponsored for our customer. Dave was the M.C.
Granted, some of these quotes are out of context, but for most of us that know Dave these are classic.
- Introducing the corporate sponsor, "...here is our token CSC Vice President".
- Introducing the customer, "...[now] we are going to cover some more mundane topics".
- Introducing a speaker on Certification & Accreditiation, "...we aren't at the ding, dong the witch is dead moment regarding C&A yet".
- No, this one is about a day out with his wife, "...yesterday was everything I dreamed of and more".
- Just pick a topic, "...I'm totally unqualified to talk about that, but I will anyways".
- A speaker's microphone died and Dave kept his cool, "...they didn't hear you, crap!"
- Introducing one of the Tech Leads, "...[and here is the] Chief Cook-and-Bottle Washer of our organization.
- When asked if each of the agencies signed off on this new implementation, "...yeah, we checked with all of [the agencies] and they said it was ok". I'd really like to see that signed document!
- When giving comments on the technical merits of a failing system, "...be frank, not snarky".
