My Dog Is Older in Human Years Than My New Consultants, or My New Consultants, in Dog Years, Are Not Yet 3
Today I met with my new organizational consultants, Kyle and two other guys whose names I didn’t catch. All three are undergraduate business majors at the college. We have a course here on organizational management and I asked the professor if she needed some case study fodder. She went for it and now I have these three guys who are going to take a bunch of data I’ve thrown them and propose a reorg to create more agility and better services for less money. So far, they are enthusiastic. I also tried to get the computer science students to work on some of our programming projects but they refused. Maybe I can get an English student to write my annual report? Work study, anyone?

Bendy, your story is The Best. We all whine about our jobs and then we have cabbies or fast food clerks who, prior to arriving in the US, were doctor, engineers, etc. It’s like Sarah Palin! From hockey mom to vp candidate! Ain’t American well, I dunno. Scratch that.
