The "FLOWER" is pissed!





































I have REALLY had enough for one day. I am going back to my egg now.

Colonel, please don't go. We need you to stay a while, and combat the ivy vines growing throughout the corporate center... they have been fertilized by the very best bullsheet, and have grown like in "Jack and the Beenstalk" and are engulfing the entire region and even the sensibility of the entire Indianapolis region. You must help. You must stay for awhile, and help clean out some of the riff-raff in upper management (and lower management, and even the frowning rank and file) ... clean them out good, send them to competitors, "have a good day - somewhere else" will be our motto.

Please tell those engulfed with Ivy, "Don't tread on me!"

I acknowledge and will remember all of your words. My habit is to speak little, but carry a big stick. While I have heard much about the AAs stealing office supplies, foreign subsidiaries absconding with company secrets on flash drives, chemicals appearing on ebay, management secrets being "shared" at Harvard Business School, yes I take it all very seriously. I will be back - if you have nothing to hide, no need to watch your back as far as I am concerned - but you may have to worry infinitely more about your colleagues in the workplace - watch your back, especially you honest ones (who are closest to my heart) ---The Colonel

Colonel, I would not be so concerned about office supplies. Since you departed, all office supplies now come dirt cheap from China. You are better off stealing dirt.

With regards to your allusion about Harvard, well you may have a valid point. In fact, during the next "hearts and hands" volunteer day, it might be a good idea to use the "volunteers" in a more creative way: actually do some work, but for that one day, free them from all of the shackles of Six Sigma, productivity systems, Black belts, champions, mentorships, etc - you might get another century out of them in this way.
