The company I work for has engaged an organizational development consultant to help work out its performance and management issues. Having spent most of the day yesterday meeting with said consultant and going over said consultant's materials, I have determined that I have missed my career calling. This woman is making upwards of $25,000 from us, and has left us with a training manual that is fairly content-sparse and shows that her understanding of her own testing instruments is not very good.

Heh. Maybe in my copious free time, I'll write a corporate development book... Then Nine Fires can publish it, and I can quit this gig and instead, wander around and tell people what to do. Hehe.

Sure. But "Bob" could write the book, if necessary, with me as co-author. Then I'm out in the field as "Bob"'s partner.

It's not without precedent. N.W. Ayers & Son, probably the first major advertising agency in the United States, was begun by a single guy who felt he was too young to be taken seriously -- he ran the business as if it were his (deceased) father's for years, always telling clients that Ayers Senior was away on business or otherwise unavailable, but he, Ayers Junior, would be glad to take care of them.

Like Guiness, Brilliant!

I give. Anyone *that* snea- er, resourceful would undoubtedly have my business.
