Things Talked About

I don't know - the kind of thing I like to talk about:

For me, it was never what we talked about,  but that we could talk about it. So I guess, I'm always sadder when there's less ability to talk about things.

But I figure you already knew that about me. And that you've been needing more space to compartmentalise new experiences. And I'm so happy when I find out that there's something new for you to discover. Which is generally why I like to hear about things. Otherwise I just worry - but that can't be helped, I suppose.

(Are you peeping, now?)

I agree that empathy is important. I disagree that suicide is regretable. If you cared enough to miss the person you should be asking about their outlook on death tongue emoticon

Flip partners once a quarter, shower the world with hugs and kisses, and the world will call you a ho. Flip partners once a week, keep your mouth shut in public, and the world will call you a prude. Ain't nobody happy, 'cause haters gonna hate. You just gotta like what you do 'an keep livin. 'Cause nobody gonna do it for you.

It's called public relations management. LOL

Managing public relations for a coffee shop with 19 partners running around poking things in the world at large sure is a hassle... hahaha

Every now and then, I'm reminded by the frailty of the people whose lives surround me. Blood, sweat, flesh, and tears... these are the components of their lives. And yet they are averse to such imagery. Like children running in the wind, shouting to themselves, "I'm a leaf! I'm a leaf!," unaware of their origins. Accepting of stories they've been told. Clinging like dew drops without a prayer. What wasted efforts they embody. Such sucklings. It is not easy to know, if one should pity or refuse them.

Every day is a good day to die. If you're not ready, you're just out of touch with reality. smile emoticon

I hate working with slow landowners. LOL. Can't wait to move right next to the office. Meanwhile, back on shift tonight. Spent the day checking tactical considerations for staff handover, iterations on product development, testing the implementation of common products from popular designs, hammering out creative direction for iconography, and otherwise checking boxes wherever the team tells me to do so. It's good to have help. Let's see how long we last...

Rationalists in Policy (and Management?)

Let it be known that I don't care about the welfare of any particular staff. I just want to know when we address the welfare of any particular staff, what policies are being applied... so that we are able to effectively question:

(1) the efficacy of our policies,
(2) our failure to apply well defined policies, or
(3) our failure to form well defined policies in the first place.

Efficacy implies telos, so any discussion on motivations for policies falls under (1).

I care about people. I just don't care about individual people. At least, rarely at work.
