Cisco haikus hit the mark

Analysis
Jan 28, 20082 mins

Sandra Clark, director of Onsite Training and Consulting Services at the University of California, Santa Cruz Extension has posted up some good haikus from last month’s  UCSC Extension class held at Cisco on Creative Thinking. I’m assuming these haikus are the products of our friends at Cisco. Judging from the despair voiced in some of the poems at least we know Cisco project folks suffer like the rest of us.

Project done, boss says

That is exactly what I asked for

But not what I want

The projects started

We are behind as always

Look for my next job

Schedule is a mess

We have to clean it up fast

Else we’ll miss deadline

Cisco project team

Talented, Creative people

As always, Snafu
