Project manager

A fellow who knows the price of nothing and the value of nothing. A fan of the Gantt chart, and of being elsewhere when the shit of his delusional projections of the critical path of the project, as it inevitably will, hits the fan of intractable, messy reality, an aspiration made harder because the project manager tends to be contracted, or even employed by the firm directly, cannot hide behind the name of an enormous consultancy firm, and has nowhere to hide shoujld things turn properly surreal.

It all seemed so easy

Therefore, apt to develop great skill at dissembling, delegation and survival.

Aspires to be a management consultant, which should tell you everything you need to know.
