Anthropology 106

KATUGASTOTA, Sri Lanka -- The second entry in the anthropology series. 106 by virtue of the six ants. :-)

Picture shows a team of ants executing a move(egg) instruction in block transfer mode with load balancing in effect. Part of a larger convoy that spanned an entire wall.

Here, is there a closing date for this blasted competition?

BTBOTP this evidence is inconclusive! It appears that your ants are bickering and attempting a block transfer in different directions. However, this is precisely the kind of teamwork seen in real life. By the way, which one is the project manager? :-p

Anyway, this reminds me about that old joke:

Q: How many IBM CPUs does it take to do a logical right shift?
A: 33. 1 to hold the bits and 32 to push the register.


Heh heh heh!

The one at 12 O'clock is the PM, the one who just observes doing plain nothing and utters "way to go Team" x(

Amidst all this "its" wondering whether the tech lead is capturing/composing sufficient documentation on the execution in view of this months "Green" process audit! x(

Indeed! Does this process conform to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act? If not your ants could be indicted for cooking the books X-(

However, as my previuos comment this is precisely the kind of team work seen in "real life", hence Big Kahuna's argumet is obviously invalid and is a lousy attempt to confuse & cloak reality, this is the task of "A" Manager.

Monster, let's see how you handle this one: The disassembled parts of a high-powered rifle have been placed in a box on your desk. You will also find an instruction manual, printed in Swahili. In 10 minutes your beloved project manager will be admitted to the room. Take whatever action you feel appropriate. Be prepared to justify your decision :-p
