| Before you are two conference rooms. The one on your right has an
engineering team and their normal, well-educated, eloquent and
understanding manager. The one on the left has another engineering team,
but we swapped their normal manager with a Folger's Crystal manager
without telling them! The room on the right is having a productive meeting
about deadlines and project priorities... but the room on the left...
well, let's see if they noticed.
Folger's Manager .. So you have 7 priorities over here.
Lead Engineer 7 Priorities... are they in any particular order?
Folger's Manager No, they all have to be complete by the 1st.
They're all your number one priorities.
Lead Engineer Right. Seven first priorities. How about the other
side?
Folger's Manager Those are also your first priorities. If you can
manage to fit them in, of course.
Lead Engineer Well, it's going to be a crunch to get those 7 done
as it is..
Folger's Manager Oh! I just thought of something.. we need to have
system logging in there too.
Lead Engineer Which one of the 7 is going to go, then?
Folger's Manager None of them, it shouldn't take too long..
Lead Engineer Right, so... *pokes the manager with a whiteboard
marker* Hey! You're CRUNCHY! You're not our manager..! Whoops! I guess
they noticed this time.. but go ahead, try Folger's Crystal Managers! Your
engineers probably won't notice the difference! Available at
Staplez and other fine office supply stores everywhere.
