OK, it’s almost over.  I scheduled my MALC exam for this coming Monday (9:30 AM EDT, if you want to cheer me on or anything).  As we go into the weekend, I want to share mathematical proof that ITIL is evil.  It all comes from the fact that ITIL takes time and money, time is money, and money is the root of all evil…

ITIL is evil

Just for the record, I did not come up with this beautiful equation.  I think I saw it in some cartoon and it originally had to do with proving girls are evil.  Nonetheless, I think it’s hilarious.

UPDATE:  I hate to admit it, but yes, I flunked the first go-around on the MALC.  After talking to a few others about ITIL, I really don’t feel so bad any more as they also confirmed that they also found parts of ITIL V3 convoluted and confusing, and this new “2011” version only confirms that the first publication of V3 was more like V2.4, the refresh was more like V2.6, and I’m sure the “2011” publication is more like V2.8.
