Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So interesting, sarameg. I love the drug reps basically complaining that their only means of influencing doctors anymore is the free lunch, and then the doctors saying that it doesn't influence them. Dude, if it didn't influence doctors, drug reps wouldn't do it!

There are so many interesting studies coming out on doctors and pharmaceutical companies these days.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jesse--I am in AWE of your ability to actually enter the Container Store and not buy stuff you didn't need! God knows, I've never managed it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am impressed with myself! So many little boxes I did not buy! My secret was not getting a cart, and picking up the shoe rack I was there for first, and then carrying it around the rest of the store.

Go Jesse! I avoided the Container Store today because I was askeered of the store. Worse? I did go into the Paper Source which is EVIL.

Also, I did realize a couple of things I needed while I was there, but I really did need those things.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

the Paper Source which is EVIL.

Ooooooh. Totally evil.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm very happy that the Container Store is very far from me. I have bought only one thing there, I think.

I seem to have discovered an attitude problem. A personality was clashing with mine, trying to insist things didn't have to be done by the book because he knew better. After a bit of "look, process is here for a reason--how much trouble were we in without it?" I just said "You know, experience trumps paperwork--we'll go straight ahead and do it your way despite the published process. Tell me exactly what you want me to do."

He backed right off and said I should contact the process owner. It's what I figured would happen if I looked like I was going to charge forward with his name on the banner.

Hmmph.

Now I just have to wrestle an impossible project plan (JUNE 2007??? ARE YOU INSANE) into submission, and maybe my weekend can start.

I need to remember your strategy, ita. It's a great one.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I need my weekend. Where is my weekend? Instead, I am just sitting here at my desk, and not getting jack done. I think I need to break things down into smaller tasks. Or maybe go play with the dog and watch HGTV for a while. I dunno.
