Yeah, that's the one that really did it for me too.

Hilarious stuff. Thanks

lol....I had seen one very similar when I was working on an XP rollout project last year. Needless to say it made pretty much every one laugh except for management....they didn't seem to think it was so funny.

To complement that pic I brought in one that I saw posted here years ago. It was a flow chart to determine what to do in case something broke at work. I don't think I have it on this computer but I'm sure someone will know what I'm talking about and post it for me.

Yep, that's the one! My boss and I had that posted in our cubes throughout the entire project. It's probably the most useful flowchart that I've ever seen :D

I've had that flowsheet taped to the wall of my dorm room for the last two years, and in my locker senior year of high school.
It's a great flowsheet.
