Smarty Pants: Are You Sure You’re a Business Analyst?

Gorgeous: Smarty Pants asked me if I thought she should wear a mask to protect herself from the swine flu. Her friends were telling her it was her health and she had to take responsibility for it.

This chick just came over and said she doesn’t know how to use Visio*. How you gonna do wireframes in Visio if you don’t know how to use Visio? Who doesn’t know how to use Visio????? (besides her)

Me: Oh that’s bad…even I know how to use Visio. Who’s supposed to be doing the wireframes*, you or her?

Gorgeous: Both of us. She has her sections and I have mine. We had the option of doing them in HTML or Visio. We both opted for Visio. I don’t know why she chose Visio, but I chose it because it’s quicker for me to do in here than re-learn using Dreamweaver or coding it from scratch because I can’t figure out how to use the program. She said, well, how are we going to use Visio to do this because it doesn’t have Web templates and you can’t do things like dropdowns. I said why not, and did one right quick on the fly for her. Then she said she would have to go to the Help menu.

Good grief. You remember that scene in The Lion King when Scar said he was surrounded by idiots? Le Sigh….

Me: Mmmm. And it gets worse. Damn man.

Gorgeous: I’m gonna make it through. I dealt with the know-it-all and I can deal with a numnut as well.
