Mga Hirit ni Carlos
Carlos is our Project Director here in Virginia under the Hampton Roads Sanitation District project. I've learned a lot from him. He has this cunning way of expressing his perspective on a lot of things...
Situation #1: Carlos called the SPL team for a meeting in one of the conference rooms. Washington (another SPLer) is home sick so he was put on a speaker phone so as to hear what Carlos have to say.
Carlos: I didn't call you guys so I can start bitching. But we're really in a big trouble here coz Derek and John are being rolled off next week. And right now everyone of us is in a really big mess. And unfortunately for Julie, she's also sucked up on the mess that we have.
In the morning, we should answer all the questions and help the client out and in the evening, we could get ourselves drunk and rant about how stupid these people are.
We should have a documentation on what normal CC&B day would be like. We should explain it to the end users like school kids, like 'this is a 24 hour clock, when the small hand is in number 6 and there's sunlight outside, this batch program will run..now when it's night time, this is what will happen.'
Washington: Derek? could you please bring the charger (laptop charger) to my apartment so I could work?
Carlos: WoRkKKK?? We're not fools you know. Do you think you're talking to your children?
Situation #2: Izzet invited the SPL team to the Hilton Hotel Bar to have a drink of the bottle of wine that Hilton Hotel gave her. Izzet came down with the bottle of red wine. Carlos called the waitress and asked for a bottle opener.
Waitress: Oh sorry, but it's forbidden to drink wine that's not ordered.
Carlos: But this wine came from you guys!! This is a free wine provided by the hotel!
Waitress: You could drink it at your room (smiling).
Carlos: Oh come on, just slip the bottle opener at my back and we'll act as if nothing happened.
Waitress: Really sorry but it's a rule here and I could get fired if I let you open that bottle...
Carlos (turning to Izzet): So Izzet, you invited us for nothing??
....
Carlos: You know guys I collect Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts. And I think I'm the only one person in America that has a Hard Rock Cafe (a place in Germany that I forgot) t-shirt. Because Hard Rock doesn't exist in that place. I was walking at the beach in Germany and a guy asked me if I wanted to buy a t-shirt and then I saw it was a Hard Rock t-shirt! Imagine, he thought of making a t-shirt out of a place that does not exist!! How cool is that?! So I bought the shirt and I told him, 'I salute you man! I really appreciate art! And this is the art of cheating!'
