It is my job to architect and build meaningful and solid soultions. This means that when someone comes to me, or my team, with an idea I need to look at it with a critical eye. Unfortunately, this has given me the reputation of being negative.

Me? Negative?

Nooooooo!

The problem is that all the ideas are asinine! I shit you not that I just sat through a meeting where the big idea (that’s going to “save the company”) is to charge for access to a repository of files…oh, and give a 14-day free trial to it!

Am I the only person who thinks this is a bad idea? At work I am.

Why would you buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?

My boss just joked: “They decided to do this because it’s opposite of what you would suggest. Ha Ha.”

I couldn’t help but to reply: “You mean that they decided to do the opposite of what a successful company would do.”

Yup. Said it out loud.

Serenity now!!!!
