FIND OUT WHAT THE USERS WANT BEFORE YOU BUILD IT.

WHY ARE YOU EXPLAINING MY JOB TO ME AS IF I'M AN IDIOT?

IT'S CALLED MANAGING.

I ASSUME YOU'RE DUMB BECAUSE YOU WORK HARDER THAN I DO AND EARN LESS MONEY.

AND MY BOSS WOULD FIRE ME IF I JUST SAT IN MY OFFICE AND DID NOTHING.

SO I WANDER AROUND AND SAY OBVIOUS THINGS TO YOU IDIOTS UNTIL QUITTING TIME.

THEN I GO HOME AND EAT UNTIL MY UNDERPANTS DON'T FIT.

THANKS FOR ASKING.
