Hi Erik/Guy/Stuart,
Go and check out one of the newer members, a not so serious guy, from antarctica who managed to slip past the praetorians:-)

One of the reasons planners get such top notch salaries, is the calm and balance they bring to a project.
Planners are the agony aunts in project management. All the people should feel free to confide in you and you help them with their problems.
Lets face it, a claim is like a Dear John letter for an engineer.
My favourite line is "Hey, it could have been worse" then you tell them how it could have been ten times worse. Brings everything right into perspective.

Mmmm...I always thought that having a sense of humour was a pre-requisite for being a planner ;-)
Hi Guys,
I believe there is really a need for a bit of fun, lightheartednes, if we really take ourselves that seriously, that is already a reason to laugh. There must be a lot of stories out there that is planning related, that is humorous, but has a lesson as well. A lot of things I have learned over the years have been as a result of mistakes. So give the not so serious a chance.
Chris,
It was just a suggestion.
Take it or leave it.
Such concerns as suggested by Chris do not relate to this Forum so these can not be entertained.

Hi Guy,
I was thinking more along the line of something for planners, by planners. But your idea is swell, if you dont mind the administration.
We can then also see which planners have a sense of humour, which would lead to more private mail.
I believe planners should be able to talk about other planning related stuff as well. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Regards,
Erik
Eric,
Daft as your idea sounds I think there may be mileage in it. I find certain Dilbert cartoons on Planning very effective when trying to convince non Planners of the need for a Plan. I also use a "Winnie the Pooh" cartoon to similar effect. Sharing such humour could help. However how do we get around copywrite so that we can share these?
