Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Project Manager
Hea, there is so little piss in the pond these days that I thought I might as well see what you guys think of this... If you don't work under a project manager you might not get what this is all about, but I welcome any comments... I know it's a bit short, but I'm not sure what else to do with it. Any ideas?

Project Manager [edit source ]
Yep, you're right. I have no project manager, but I'm eager to see what your articles are all about. Le Cejak • <-> (Dec 10 / 19:07)

Cajek Hi!
Your Source for Fine Scented Pee
And Whatever Else Comes Out Of Him
- Intro [6]
Okay, what is a project manager? Nice picture, though. I don't know why, but when I saw that picture I was like "this is gonna be AWESOME!" Something about that picture and its caption...
- 1 History and the Crusades [5]
Yeah, it wasn't bad, but it was very random. I, uh, really don't know what you're talking about. I believe something is getting lost in translation from "hello gents"-ian to "wazzzupppp?!"-ian.
- 2 Possible Responsibilities [5]
Whoops, list! And it's a good list too, which means that you could easily expand it to be a paragraph or two.
- 3 Hobbies [2]
pffft! come on, mr. N! It's a list that's 3 items long, so, you should know what to do: either delete or expand into a section.
- 4 How to communicate with a project manager [6]
If you know the American cartoon Dilbert, then I think you should take this in that direction. Make fun of bosses instead of some weirdo English thing that nobody understands!
- 5 Important Things Done by Project Managers [5]
Oh, it's one of these type of deadpan article closers! It worked in
but I don't think it'll work here unless you have way more content. I'm gonna have to think about how you could make this longer...

- Bosses (-2): rare idea (GOOD!) that doesn't have much out-of-the-box joke potential (BAD!)
- English joke (-3): Dammit, I just don't know anything about England! That's why I hope that I remove any American jokes from articles I do because I try to assume that some people won't get them!
*SHUFFLE SHUFFLE COUGH SHUFFLE* okay, here:
- More explanation. Make sure that the reader is aware that this is an English thing (?)
- Change the topic slightly. Make it about bosses in general. Write an article like Boss Accomplishments or something that incorporates some of this stuff.
- Something that would add more content is the translation from English to American.
- Talk about various projects, other than the crusade. That was just randomness.
Hey Mr. N! Nice reviewing for you. I've done so many reviews that no score above 20 and below 40 seems different to me. Talk to me, some time. Jeez, we never talk anymore!
Addendum from an English user who worked at a company rife with project managers: I like what you're trying to do here, and I recognise the sentiments expressed. These micro-managing fuckwits are everywhere, introducing processes that get in the way of actual work at every turn. However, you barely tap into the vast pool of potential here - there are so many ways that these pillocks can be pilloried that I'm positive you can get more content.
As Cajek suggests, have a look at some Dilbert cartoons - don't nick the ideas, obviously, but as one of the very best satires of micro-management, it should give you plenty of inspiration. However, ignore Cajek's comments about it being some weirdo English thing - project management has a long and very boring history (take a look at the Wikipedia article on it if you're having trouble sleeping) and is as epidemic across the pond as it is here. Perhaps when Cajek finishes his exams and gets a proper job</student stereotype line> he'll have the pleaseure of encountering some of his very own.
It would definitely benefit from expansion - the crusades has the germ of an idea - stick a couple of project managers into some famous historical incidents and see how their methods would "enhance" them. How would El Alamein have panned out had Monty had project managers on the job? What could project managers have brought to the construction of the pyramids? There's a lot of potential right there. Go nuts, have fun! Give me a shout if you want, I quite like the idea here and want to see a really good article come from this. I can't promise to write it with you - far too busy - but might well throw out some ideas you can take and turn into good ones! --Sir Under User ( Hi , How Are You? ) VFH KUN 20:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yeeeaaahhh, Bill? I'm actually gonna need those papers by friiiidaaayyy, so if you could do that, that'd be greeeaaaat.</Office Space ripoff> - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon Baloon.gif(Tick Tock) (Contribs) 20:13, Dec 10
- yeah b-b-b-but i noticed that you have my stapler I need it back to do some stapling I'll burn down the whole building Le Cejak • <-> (Dec 10 / 20:16)
- Well DAM THANKS GUYS. Very helpful... I was getting a little board on this one, but as you guys say there is a lot more scope here... I will see what I can do...
- Oh, and if anyone is interested, Dilbert was actually written by a guy who used to work for Hewlett Packard I believe. He got a lot of his ideas from working there. He actually carried on working there for a while after his work became famous. Then they noticed it was him and gave him the boot! I will go back and see if I can give those project managers another kick in the balls... Mr N MrN9000SouthParksmall.jpg 21:18, Dec 10
