The eternal pessimist



Well we had our little meeting on the project plan. The snake was so hyper. I remained calm. I thinks she thinks I have never done a software project before. I love listening to her talk down to me. Big show for the boss. Oh well.

Always remember this....Criticism only helps the critiqued. Once they share their knowledge with you....they can't take it away.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

I just want her buy in so I don't have to hear her "I knew it would never work."

Ralf Nader once said something at a speech. "It doesn't matter if you are an eternal optimist or an eternal pessimist...either way you are not thinking."

She is an eternal pessimist. She runs around saying "Oh that won't work." When things do work...she remains silent. When things don't work....stand back because she is going to scream "I told you so!" from the tallest building.
