Random Quotes from the PDA [Prologue]...
My company recently came up with the bright idea of allowing wireless administrative access to the company intranet. This was all because the sales reps were given phones that had integrated Pocket PC. They wanted to be able to access the client database using these little annoying devices. So who was given the task of customizing a version of the intranet site to make the wishes of sales reps come true? Me.
This wasn't such a bad situation. The people who gave me this task had no idea how it could be accomplished or what it would cost. I informed them that I would need a PDA (and subsequently all the bells and whistles that came with it) in order to develop the project. They gave me what I desired.
The project was silly. I didn't need anything other than a text editor to accomplish the project. All the web pages were already made so I just shrunk them down to a smaller format, took out all the pretty pictures and saved my work under the folder "PDA".
Since this project I kept the PDA. I brought it to meetings, on business lunches, and other outings from the cubicle. Everyone thought I was organized making notes and planning tasks. Instead I was playing solitaire and jotting down little thoughts that would pop into my head.
I have decided to share with the world these random quotes. Some are funny, some serious, some idiotic, some confusing, but all done on company time (luckily nobody reads this blog so I don't have to worry about being discovered and then appropriately fired).
