marketing

Origin unknown. Purpose unknown. States the obvious, accepts all credit, rejects all blame.

An increasingly common plague found in the work place which causes annoyance and despair in other co-workers. Thrives on board-meetings, dependent on company mobile phones, Outlook, and a considerable yearly budget with no questions asked on how its gets pissed up the wall on nothing. Able to speak but prefers to do any communication through email which is the sole purpose of computers.

Uses any opportunity to voice their opinions and set policy on matters which are none of their concern and to which they have knowledge of. Usually the bane of any Web-Developers existence.

Able to plan projects perfectly without any of the minor concerns such as development or implementation.

Curiously, all Marketing plague-people start as a Manager. There is no lower position available although there is never actually anyone to manage.
see above for example. Be wary of any person who says they are "Marketing". Lose all hope when dealing with a "Marketing Consultant".

MARKELLA

Female version of the name Mark (Marcus) : Saint Mark was the author of the second Gospel in the New Testament. He is the patron saint of Venice, where he is supposedly buried.

Markella is a girls name that means warm hearted and good friend. Very independant, strong and opinionated but can have a very casual and relaxed demeanor.

Markellas can be extremely stubborn, but once you have sat them down and talked to them they usually get all warm and fuzzy again. Lover of the feline species. Usually pick names for their cats that are not original!
Dont be so Markella!!!

(= Dont be so stubborn!!!)

no other example can be given at this moment in time.

Please come back at a later date for your update and example
