Committees
My friend RC, who is going nuts at the Fortune 100 company he thought he wanted to work for until he realized that the deparment he is in is full of numnuts: How do you tell if a big company plans to do something or not?
Me: How?
My friend RC, who is going nuts at the Fortune 100 company he thought he wanted to work for until he realized that the deparment he is in is full of numnuts: If they want to do something, they put someone in charge. If not they assign a committee.
Did I mention RC was on a committee appointed by another committee to fix the company's operational inefficiencies?
And do you like the committee picture I found? I especially like the chairman's hairdo. I don't think I've ever seen that. It's like a Spencers Gift's fiber optic lamp. Usually the top is bald and the sides hairy. Then again, his head is so unfortunately round that you hardly notice his do. It is so disturbing a shape that, while most of the staff uncomfortably shuffle papers in a sort of "pretend the big headed guy isn't so freakish and if you smile he might go away" kind of thing, the one dude in the back looks like he has ripped his own left arm off in shock; such is his horror at the sight of the man.
But the really amazing thing is I got the picture from this site--making roundhead a Mr. Nick Wheatley. Do you think Nick knows he looks like this? Do you think there may be a pill or some sort of hormone therapy he could take?

How does this work then? This is the first time i've visited a blog site, and that's only coz my mate Dave told me to. What am I supposed to do now? Who will be able to read this? Will I get a response? I'm confused. And, oh yeah, committees are where people get together to discuss everything and decide nothing. That's my twopennyworth, having worked in big and small organisations. The best are where the key decision-makers listen to people then make decisions. Gotta go now, bank are phoing, probably to tell me about some more fees they haven't yet billed me for (they're always finding new and unexciting ways of charging my company for things). Bye bye then, Bern (Dave's buddy from UK, not London, just down from there, next to France, quite literally)
