And, of course, in my menial experience the Senior Managers' Plan of the Six Project Stages has always held true: 1 - Wild enthusiasm 2 - Disillusionment 3 - Despair 4 - Search for the Guilty 5 - Punishment of the Innocent 6 - Promotion of the non-Participants
If it moves, oil it. If it doesn't, paint it. If it doesn't but should, apply the precision adjustment tool otherwise known as a knock-o-meter...aka hammer.
Comments above indicate that hammers are clearly in with engineers. The expression, as first I learned it, was: There is no problem that cannot be solved with a hammer of sufficient size.

Another great engineering expression: If it ain't bust, don't fix it.
ReplyDeleteThis one, IMHO, explains nearly all of our political problems too. The trouble is the bastards have no judgement on the meaning of "bust".
