  • Results are good:

    • Business CEO takes credit, shareholders are happy with CEO
    • Consultancy got paid, shareholders are happy

    Results are bad:

    • Business CEO blames consultancy, shareholders don't blame CEO
    • Consultancy got paid, shareholders are happy

  • I imagine a lot of them have. Problem is far too many of them agree with Col. Jessep (Jack Nicholson):

    Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then QUESTIONS the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to!

    Repaired my washing machine, again

    About 6 months ago, I was repairing a leak in my clothes washer. It was due to a loose bolt in the outer plastic shell. When putting it all back together, I didn't realize it was important which way the drain tube routed around another piece. Apparently it mattered. The drainage tube ended up having a hole rubbed through it. My bad. Put some silicone over the hole, wrapped it up, routed it the correct way, resisted the urge to test it immediately, and let it cure overnight. Everything seems to be good so far through several loads. Worst case, if the silicone doesn't hold, at least now I know it's the drain tube and they're fairly cheap.

  • Eh, I don't think so. Certainly, there are some true believers that are absolutely off the deep end (Mike Johnson might be in that group), but I think most of them are nothing more than spineless, soulless, greedy, narcissistic, sycophantic, grifting remora - willing to say and do anything to enrich themselves and inflate their own ego.
