King of What?
January 29, 2003 · Filed Under Uncategorized
I am the king of status reporting. There are lots of things I can’t do in this world (I am sure some of you would be more than happy to point those things out). But, when it comes to taking a project, summarizing it and issuing a report on behalf of the stakeholders and project resources, I am proclaiming excellence and marking my kingdom.
Sure, some of you might view status reporting as non-value add, but I am good at it, so shut up.

I once bet a guy in college that I could watch a George Carlin special on HBO without laughing. I did it, but it wasn’t at all easy. There is going to be a void left by Carlin dying. - Accepted Behaviors Tend to Increase Thursday, 19 June 2008, 12:15 pm
If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
What’s up, Craig? How’s it going? Uh, we have sort of a problem here. Yeah. You apparently didn’t put one of the new coversheets on your TPS reports. You see, we’re putting the coversheets on all TPS reports. Did you get the memo about this? Go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that will be great. Uh, I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo, OK?
Here is a little experiment. There were 440 visitors at 4:09 when I posted something on Dooce’s site. I want to see what effect there is on my traffic.
Anyone know where I can get a hold of a member’s only jacket?
a good skill to have!
I want to take a moment to finish Craig’s commentary on status reports for him. You see, he’s forgotten his acknowledgements. Never mind the fact that he may be some sort of god (note –small letter ‘G’) in the frightening little realm of status reporting, but Craig, you’re forgetting all those little reports you’ve written that have ended up on my desk first for “proof-reading.”
And what a proof-reading they get! I’d venture to say that the great “King of Status Reports” couldn’t even uncap his pen properly without the assistance of a proper grammarian. By the time I’m done with your puny status reports, there’s more red than any other color!
Perhaps that’s part of the problem with having your own forum like this, Craig. You can sit around and deify yourself, and your unwitting readers will never be the wiser…

My goodness, I have been bested by the weilder of the red pen. Well I guess no King could be complete without his Queen. So, I guess this means you are my Queen, unless you qualify as some lesser female nag.
Just kidding.
My reports would NOT be complete without out the help of a lovely lady from the Technical Communications department, and I apologize for my oversite.
The Filtered One
I’m not sure about what my qualifications are, but I know I’m not qualified to be YOUR queen.
I could recommend some really qualified extras from the Rocky Horror Picture show…
I think I started a war.
