What we Have Here is a Failure to Communicate

Man, so many notes with this one.

First, obvious movie reference... come on, you all know what it is.

Second, yes, yes, I've used this post title like three times already. So sue me. I can't say this enough times: communication is the number one problem IT faces. Internally, externally. Doesn't matter. NERDS SUCK AT COMMUNICATION.

Third:
¹My team does application development.
²My team runs BlackBoard.
³My team runs the VMs.

Also, although I hope it's all too painfully obvious, I'd like to point out the difference in grammatical person used in the cartoon and in the notes. All too many administrators say "I..." when they really mean "well, I don't do any actual work, but the people for whom I write annual performance reviews...".

That's actually not as big a problem here as it was a couple of years ago. We actually have one administrator who *always* refers to "my team". It's actually quite annoying, but infinitely better than saying "I".
