Brilliant Ideas
by Mumpy
So my boss wants me to come up with something “new” in time for the Sales Conference at the end of October. I’ve been racking my brains and racking other people’s brains and pretty much just racking in general trying to think of some brilliant ideas.
Here is what I’ve come up with so far:
- Have the company logo tattooed on my left buttock. Present this at the Sales Conference.
- Have the entire documentation outsourced. Go on a long holiday to the Caribbean.
- Invent a time machine. Go back twenty years and study medicine. Become a child neurologist.
- Write a new User Guide on how to write a User Guide.
- Invent a time machine. Go back forty years and persuade my boss to study medicine and become a child neurologist.
- Reprint the current manuals using 3-D images. Distribute them with the 3-D glasses at the Sales Conference. Insert several pictures of naked women to increase interest.
- Identify a real need in the current documentation. For example, I document the “how to” and the “why” but not the bigger picture. Call a meeting with head of company Research Center to discuss plans for a more high-level document – encompassing the main features of our system and how they work together.
- Faint with shock at actually having come up with a brilliant idea – see number 7.
- Come down with Mad Cow Disease the day before the Sales Conference.
- Come down with Mad Cow Disease the day after the Sales Conference.
Please feel free to add some more “brilliant ideas” of your own.

Option #1 sounds interesting. What is your company logo like?
I say go for it!
11. Add *NEW* unforeseen network elements into your network diagrams and ask the engineers to clarify their purpose. Revel in the puzzled looks! (This is best done by pulling one or many engineers into a room with your pre-drawn diagram on as large a whiteboard as possible, stating to them: "I'm just trying to figure out how these elements are integrated into the system as a larger whole.") ~PRICELESS~
