The 500 greatest albums of all time?

Here is Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 greatest albums.

And here is Jim Fusilli's take at the WSJ on Rolling Stone's list. Dare we use the word bias? He does.

It's Monday

And we all know what that means. Time for another MOTW, Manager of the Week. While working for this next manager can be very frustrating for doers, at least the staff cannot complain about not knowing what is being contemplated.

MOTW: Indecisive Manager

While this manager may be a good human being he/she is a complete source of angst for subordinates. Unable to make even the most miniscule decision, Indecisive Manager wavers and asks for input from every life-form on the planet before contemplating any action. Staff members vie to be the last person to talk to indecisive manager on any subject since whoever does so seems to have the most influence on the “consensus course of action to be taken decided by the team” when eventually announced by Indecisive Manager.

Weekend Haiku

Basho (1644 - 1694)

I Walk Alone

Here is I Walk Alone from Tarja Turunen. She is wonderful. Enjoy and happy Friday.

It's Monday

And we all know what that means. Time for another MOTW, Manager of the Week. This next manager may conjure up images of invading armies trying knock down the portcullis of an enemy castle to end a long standing siege. Such efforts do not always go completely as planned.

MOTW: Battering Ram Manager

This manager becomes so enamored of the one great idea he/she has had that he/she continues to push for it in meetings long after it has been discarded as untenable by Senior Management. Not sufficiently attuned to the resounding vetoes which have met his/her insistence, Battering Ram Manager pushes even more until the only debris left from his/her continuous assault is the flotsam and jetsam of his/her own career.
