wednesday i received an email from the time police. it chastised me for failing to log my time and activities. not for days previous, but for days future. through monday in fact.

so, basically i am in trouble because i am unable to time travel to the future and report back to the past about what i did in the future.

i also received an email from the human resources department about the benefit enrollment period. it was a warning, to inform me today is the last chance to make any changes before the changes period would begin.

so, basically they are saying, the changes period is to make any changes to the changes made before the changes deadline.

another recent email, informed us a specific employee was still employed with the company.

so, basically it was reminding us employees of the company are employed by the company until they are no longer employed by the company.

in a meeting, the project manager announced that the project start date had been put on indefinite hold. he said we should use the hold time to prepare ourselves for the eventual start of the project.

so, basically he was telling us to get ready to get ready.

today the a sales guy was proud to tell me he and the client had decided user interviews were not needed to perform our USER centered design process. as creative director of the USER centered design group, i was not consulted.

so, basically he was telling me it is no longer a user centered design process, it is now the sales guy centered design process.

it's truly a wonder how this company doesn't collapse from the unbearable stink of corporate brain farts.

so, basically i am telling you corporate america is screwed.
