Thankyou John, you made my day.

And a rough day too. I'm back in the real world as Service Delivery Manager for a large local government organisation on contract for three months establishing the role and doing some groundwork for culture change and process improvement. This working for a living is hard! The sooner I'm a web millionaire the better.

Call me a cheerleader

hip hip for skeptic
all in a tatter
sombody thinks you're a septic
but what does it matter?

itil, cobit, iso 20k chatter
who cares,
what's the diff,
I'm in for the banter

so ruffle some feathers
and make some money
we've a long way to go
and it's a very savage journey

remain always the skeptic
for gorillas abound
and they make more money
than anyone around

so hip hip for the skeptic
a place to rant, vent and blame
if I don't get some kicks
I'll just go insane

so call me a cheerleader
I don't really give a damn
for there's more to life than ITIL
and if it's not fun then I can

just give up...

As Stonecaster continued to ratchet up, my wife and I were watching DVDs of West Wing (the popular U.S. TV series about the White House, for those of you who live in New Zealand or something :-). Josh Lyman, the Deputy Chief of Staff, discovers that there is a web site and forum dedicated to him, and attempts to go and engage in reasoned debate. This is not particularly successful, even though Donna his assistant warns him that the inhabitants may be "off their medication."

C.J. Craig, the press secretary, continues in the same vein to Josh: "The people on these sites: they're the cast of 'One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest.' . . . I'm telling you to open the ward room window and climb on out before they give you a pre-frontal lobotomy and I have to smother you with a pillow. . . ."

The timing was apropos and helped me keep a smile on. Now, where are my pills again?
