today i cut my tongue on my tooth. what the hell is up with my razor-sharp teeth?

the other day on npr they referred to a particular action of the folk at goldman-sachs as an "aggressive accounting device". this is of course a euphemism bel grande but what's good for the npr is good for the ace. i am going to start referring to my project management technique as "aggressive workflow device".

yes, i rescheduled your task due date to a date that's already passed. what's the problem?

yes, i have provided you insufficient interval to complete your task. what's the problem?

yes, i have committed you to provide files to the vendor during your planned vacation. what's the problem?

yes, i have required more of you than is physically feasible. what's the problem?

yes, you will be held accountable for tasks outside your control. what's the problem?

what's the problem, eh? it's simply an aggressive workflow device. get with the program!
