The answer is "X has gone dark". The question is "What frustrates me?". I don't like feeling frustrated.

In response to my post entitled Your Team's Answer is Wrong, my colleague Bob Lee writes -- 

(You wrote) "The trainers passed out a copy of the correct answer for the case study to all of us." (emphasis added) The definite article the as opposed to the indefinite article a is a killer here. Had they framed their solution as a solution rather than the solution would you have the same issues? (Even a correct solution affords room for other and even better solutions)

I had a nightmare last night. I was reliving a workshop that I took during a prior job.

I think the nightmare was triggered by a box of material I found in a storage area that contained documents from that job. I noticed the box was labeled "The Dark Years."

How can you quickly measure the Return on Time Invested (ROTI) by the participants of a meeting? 

In response to my post entitled Check the Box where I suggest that you choose not to argue with your manager about doing a task whose primary purpose is the furtherance of a PR campaign with their manager, my colleague Bob Lee writes "How much Fantasy Experienced As Reality is building up above?"

How many times do you complete a task that you don't believe in just so that you can tell your manager it's complete? 

I manage projects as an engineer. There are other people in my office that are sales people. They manage projects much differently.

"You're too good of a speaker." I've heard those words and they depressed me. Now they put a smile on my face.

I confess. In the mid-1980s, I really liked Powerpoint. I was a Systems Engineer for the Amdahl Corporation who gave hundreds of presentations each year. Up until PowerPoint, my choices for media was either a slide projector or overhead projector.

In my last post , I posed the question, "What coping strategies are better than ambivalence and apathy (in a double bind situation)?"

Are you in a relationship where no matter what action you take that you are admonished by a person whose approval you seek?
