thoughts after day 1 of hr strategy meeting

1. I am one of the few people in the world, I think, who enjoys strategic planning.

2. What I dislike is nothing happening as a result of the work we put in.

3. I get away with murder at this company.

4. This is partly because I am their pet freak — a role that suits me well, and which I play for all it is worth.

5. It also has to do with 20 years under my belt here — a certain street credibility attaches itself to you.

6. Everyone believes me when I say a word needs to be changed in a statement for greater clarity or precision — because, hey, poet, you know.

7. I get to say stuff like, “hey, isn’t that what we said last year, and it didn’t work then?”

8. I scare new people.

9. I like scaring new people.

10. All this is true, and I’d still quit this joint tomorrow if I wasn’t finishing school.

Unrelated thought:

Sorry, folks. I have no problem with W pronoucing “nuclear” as “nukyular.” So does Jimmy Carter. It’s a regionalism. You know, a difference among people? Something we’re all supposed to tolerate?

There’s a touch of elitism in the constant niggling over this thing. Get over it, and pay more attention to the bastard’s actions.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

We now return you to your regularly scheduled memes, indie rock*, and slam gossip.

*By the way, this most recent Nick Cave double album is great.

    Were I new to your company…you’d scare the shit out of me. But you’d be the guy I was trying to impress, because I would know that if you liked my work then it really was good. 8^D
