More about shoes

Here are the basic guidelines:

1. Tie your own shoe laces.
Take responsibility for those things you can and do control.

2. Save drowning people.
Jump in and provide help when certain that someone is in danger.

3. Engage in a little free labor every now and then.
Once in awhile, participate without first asking "what's in it for me."

I did not make this up altho I cannot remember where I read it.
Perhaps Thoreau. Maybe Emerson. Please let me know if you know.

ten past ten

there's been much talk lately about wristwatch ads and why the time is always set at ten past ten. clearly, ten ten is almost always a good time for work or play. most are busy, productive or perhaps on a butt brake at 10:10 am. short of the drudgery, not thinking about lunch, an early meeting over. the pm side is fine as well. full from dinner and drinks, full from keith and rachel, full of expectations of rest or the remainder of the night. ten ten is good.

IT

When did the systems geeks and data wizards snatch the term "information management" and make it theirs? Maybe one day the "phone company" will follow suit and take claim to "conversation management." Has a nice ring to it - don't you think?
