    The CIA wrote a manual on how to do this. It’s a bit old and parts of it are outdate for some times of work, but a lot of it is still useful.

    • Misunderstand orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders
    • Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products
    • Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done (some might say normal businesses do this as a matter of course…)
    • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible

      Shit, 80% of the people I work with must have read that manual then. That’s a near daily occurrence.

        is it? i think we need to hold a meeting to discuss the merits of using this as a manual for cosplaying as the energy vampire Colin Robinson. And for that matter the merits of using it as a manual for cosplaying as any other energy vampire. In fact i think we should make this a weekly standup to ensure continued validity of using it as a manual for cosplaying as energy vampires, Colin Robinson or not. I’ll schedule it for monday morning.
