Research has proven that IT related people are losing the battle against time. They even no longer have time to think. Here are some tips to help save some time:
Wear a badge at home
The few times you actually get to see your loved ones you keep having to explain who you are. Waste of time that. Wear a badge clearly proclaiming your name and function. My name is Peter. I am your father
Don't sit down
The average IT type spends around 20 hours in meetings per week. You'll save at least an hour per day by removing all tables and chairs from your meetingspace. Remember to rig the firealarm to go off before you do. A sprinkler installation may help too. Whoops! Again! Must be what? the third time this week?
Bilateral wind
Time wasted in private meetings can be cut down by starting each day eating 20 garlic cloves, combined with brown beans and onions. This will also help cut down on hallway-meetings and getting cornered at the coffeemachine. Hey Harry can youPRRRRAAAAPPPPP ... never mind!
Never go to a time-management seminar
The eternal question of God's existance is far less complicated and intriguing than the question why the average seminar takes three days. The average IT type is forced into weeks of catching up after such a massive loss.
Show thyself
Remember to say hello to everyone in the mornings. Hang your coat up and turn your workstation on. Then put up an 'out of office' explaining that you are fixing a mission-critical component and can't be disturbed. Proceed to lock yourself in a server-room for some quality netsurfing/gaming. Do not disturb!
Never answer your email
Answering mail is one of the biggest time-wasters of all. Imagine this: it's 09:30, you are at your workstation and have some mail:
them: we haven't had your reaction to the proposed infrastructure development changes memo we sent you 4 weeks ago.
you: what memo?
them: the one we talked about in yesterdays meeting!
you: I wasn't there because I was fixing a mission-critical component at the time and couldn't be disturbed.
them: see the memo about the meeting!
you: I don't have it in mail.
them: here it is!
you: there is no attachement...
them: sorry! it's in the mail now!
you: have you sent it yet?
them: here it is!
you: I can't seem to open it...can you send it again?
them: yes, here it is!
you: the file seems to be corrupted and virus infected. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take your workstation off the network.
By now it's 11:30 and time for lunch. You haven't managed to get any internet into your tight schedule at all. Never answer your email as you will find that 9 out of 10 times you won't hear anything on the subject again anyway.
