I learned sumtin' today.

Who said that  " just in time delivery " was good idea ?  It's one of those things that only works under idealized circumstances. I'm a big believer that many of  those " wealthy, powerful, job creator business tycoon types - are  really just the average smuck promoted to the perfect level of incompetence.

 

 

Edit :  well - maybe JIT is a good idea for bananas.

Beancounters with spreadsheets and zero understanding of how things work in the real world.

In my employed past I often had cause to wonder whether being a clueless idiot was actually a prerequisite to being considered for the top jobs. It just seemed like it had to be more than coincidence.
