The other day I gave a little presentation at work. It was like show and tell for adults. I'm really amazed at how little human beings actually advance from grade school. I know many teens and twentysomethings who are much more mature than most of my middle aged coworkers.
So let's put the corporate world in perspective:
IT guys = chess club
Management = honor roll and yearbook staff
OJTs and Supervisors = hall monitors
Project Manager = teacher's pet
and me = Vo tech flunkie

alpo:
The only problem with that analogy is that (at least every place I've worked) the IT guys actually have everyone else at their mercy, whereas the chess club has no power at all in grade school. OTOH, management probably has no clue how fucked they would be if IT got the idea to screw them, so maybe it is accurate.
