At Any Given Time



At any given time:

  • A sales person who never sent you an email is wondering why you haven't responded. [How do you know? Because they tell you.]
  • Someone, somewhere, is seething over an offense which no reasonable person, anywhere, would perceive as offensive.
  • Executives are making a decision with the assumption that all of the relevant information has been considered but all of the relevant information won't be revealed until the decision is executed.
  • A lawyer is killing a good idea instead of explaining how it could be made to work.
  • An academic is gaining tenure based on scholarly research which few have read and no one can understand. 
  • An excellent employee is looking for another job simply because no one acknowledges that the person is an excellent employee.
  • A mission is creeping.
  • A journalist is writing a news story which will seem accurate and plausible to all of the readers with the exception of those who know the subject.
