I usually don't get too personal on here, although I have. So, I want to talk about the struggles of my area at work. I was reciently given some overly negative criticism my our company VP. He claimed that the single biggest problem in my area was the reaction time of my Team Leader and myself to problems. What I took that to mean was, we should be looking for gaps in the production line and, immediately inserting ourselves into the line (and position of manual labourer), doing half of the Team Member's job. After paying lip service to wanting to see the skills applied that I learned while I was in the consulting department, I've come to realize that what they truly value is two extra floaters. Without struggling, the Team Members will not get the practice needed, the repetition needed to get faster. They will develop the mindset that they don't have to run at Takt Time because I will do half their job if they do not keep up. Ironically, I am seen as soft and too lenient on the Team Members.

The Troubles of Supervising
I had a dream that I dangerous out of control gorilla was nearby. My partner started to condition the gorilla. I was impressed. Soon, they were teaching the gorilla to play softball with the gorilla. I was scared to play hard and offend the gorilla, lest he attack me.

Save'a'me Street
Could Sesame Street have been saved? The Green Bay Packers were saved. The Winnipeg Jets were resurrected. Star Trek went on to be a pop cultural icon. Could they gave worked harder (hard?) to find alternative funding and new revenue? Did they maybe just want a free ride and blame Trump? Maybe the problem with PBS is in the P?
Public Parks, Common Areas, City Busses, Welfare, Food Banks, and Tools on Shadow Boards
The problem with being overly generous is that is creates distain for the giver and for the object given. Excessive generosity is wrong, even according to Virtue Ethics. People only respect things they earn and seldom the things they are entitled to be given.
PMs
I had a dream that I was sitting down with Trudeau and Jean Chretien. I was letting Trudeau have it for the methodology used on an opinion pole and for Bill M-104. Chretien looked like the cat that ate the canary, so I told him that I voted for him and that I was ashamed of it. He looked extremely offended. I said that it wasn't that he was a bad PM (which he was, although compared to Trudeau he was honest and competent); I said it was his policies that stank (liberal).

Re Re
Maybe squirrels run in a zig zag pattern because they're retarded. There may have been a group of squirrels with a mental disorder that caused them to not be able to run in a straight line. Being as the zig zag pattern protects them from birds of prey and increases their survivability, they passed along the gene with the mental defect as only the retarded squirrels survive. Maybe squirrels are just really retarded.
