February 2012 caption contest: Unicycle

2/1/2012 6:20 PM EST

I'd venture a guess that Bob has miss-interpreted the recent department memo about demonstrating one's skills for the new corporate environment.

2/1/2012 6:30 PM EST

That's Bill from the RF department. When he gets bored with Megacycles and Gigacycles he gets on his unicycle...

2/1/2012 6:34 PM EST

He's checking his modulation theory....how many bits can you get on a cycle...

2/1/2012 6:37 PM EST

That's Mr Brown. He's demonstrating Brownian motion.

2/2/2012 10:05 AM EST

Looks like sales is already promoting their big “win” and the product has not even been designed yet.

2/2/2012 3:08 PM EST

Who wants to explain to Larry that the expression "a manager must keep all the balls in the air" is simply a metaphor?

2/2/2012 4:55 PM EST

After his performance review, Clyde felt the need to prove his multitasking ability.

2/3/2012 2:11 PM EST

Clydes demontration of Brownian motion takes him out of the lecture hall and into the lab.

2/3/2012 3:38 PM EST

Every since Bill saw the circus, he's become a different person.

2/3/2012 3:45 PM EST

Email may not he the best way to communicate with dyslexic Bob.

Bob: Please jigger a cyclic oscillator.

2/3/2012 4:55 PM EST

Bob sought to show the new interns how one triggers a monocycle multivibrator.

2/3/2012 7:46 PM EST

Our HR dept has come up with a new interview technique for project managers.

2/3/2012 11:30 PM EST

It was was the culmination of countless months of heroic effort, but their eureka moment was suddenly upstaged by a mere dilettante.

2/4/2012 12:52 AM EST

Him? From complaining constantly to his project manager about being overworked, the manager came to assess the situation and caught him finishing the last page of a 500 puzzle book.

2/4/2012 1:15 AM EST

They called him "the juggler" at his last job because he could keep so many projects in the air at the same time.

(Inspired by a real technical manager who was a pleasure to work with)

Brian Fuller rides what's left of his Chevy Volt, after the vehicle teardown.

2/4/2012 6:01 AM EST

In order to maintain stability, he needs to add some poles in the left-hand plane.

2/4/2012 6:02 AM EST

He needs to pedal as fast as he can, to power the on-board instrumentation, entertainment and GPS systems.

2/4/2012 8:25 AM EST

Designers not able to remove the second circle, just displaced it "A cycle always needs two circles"

2/4/2012 10:34 AM EST

Bill came up with an act to impress the clowns in the board room

2/4/2012 10:51 AM EST

Corporate said they were trying to promote a more entertaining work experience...

2/4/2012 10:55 AM EST

I think the stress of being the Project Manager is finally getting to Fred.

2/4/2012 11:01 AM EST

I didn't know the Board of Directors was in town...

2/4/2012 11:03 AM EST

I think Fred misunderstood the advice from our last meeting to "just juggle the projects as best you can..."

2/5/2012 9:21 PM EST

He used to work for Dean Kamen. That's his segue to the segway.

2/6/2012 6:07 PM EST

Things to do while your code is compiling. No 7.

2/8/2012 9:58 AM EST

Bob provides a distraction so company auditors will not notice the numerous safety violations.

2/10/2012 4:28 PM EST

Looks like Rich is back from his latest management team building exercise.

2/10/2012 4:31 PM EST

Robert went for some retraining after his latest performance review cited his lack of ability to juggle multiple tasks.

2/13/2012 3:44 PM EST

He calls it "Circuit Du Soleil"!

2/15/2012 3:07 PM EST

At least someone in the department thinks we can afford the hocky-puck super-caps for our next consumer product! Look he's delivering them to us now!

2/16/2012 2:19 AM EST

Keeping up the moral in the lab is becoming increasingly trickier to do.

2/17/2012 3:05 AM EST

Extract from the safety & security pamphlet: don't forget to close the door.

2/21/2012 12:45 PM EST

Somebody had his "uniCorn" flakes this morning!!

2/24/2012 9:20 AM EST

By riding across the carpet in my unicycle I build up a static charge. This charge is then transferred evenly to each ball. Since they all have the same charge their natural tendency is to separate thus keeping them up in the air. Next I will demonstrate the same effect by juggling chainsaws.

2/25/2012 12:57 AM EST

Like all great Project Managers, Max is a magician: His genius is to have everyone's balls in the air except his own.

2/25/2012 1:47 AM EST

He doesn't look like a bean counter.

2/25/2012 1:50 AM EST

HR said he could juggle several "projects" at once, but his resume says "objects".

2/25/2012 1:55 AM EST

Yes, he's good at multitasking, but what's that got to do with our project?

2/29/2012 8:18 AM EST

Last day to add a caption -- We've got Max the Magnificent weedling your quips down to the top 10% this month, so keep em rolling in!

2/29/2012 3:17 PM EST

While everyone was watching him juggle, the HR manager was busy making small circles next to the cubes of people getting fired... Talk about breaking the news gently !!

3/1/2012 1:48 AM EST

Great, the accountant is here to review our new equipment requests.

3/1/2012 1:49 AM EST

He's new.

3/1/2012 2:00 AM EST

I can sell anything you design, it all the same to me.

3/1/2012 2:11 AM EST

Great, marketing is here to give us their requirements
