Another close encounter

You may recall that I posted this video of two guys snorkeling in Australia when they received a visit from a great white shark. Well, that shark came in a bit more slowly. This next encounter is in the Bahamas and a guy is filming a blue marlin that has been hooked. The video seems routine enough until all of a sudden a massive Mako shark comes buzzing in at a very fast clip. You can hear the surprise in the guy's voice and the expletive as he is jarred from his peaceful filming reverie. Wow!

It's Monday

And we all know what that means. Time for another MOTW, Manager of the Week. It's hard to tell whether this next manager is good or not, but boy can he/she sure manage change.

MOTW: Keep 'Em Guessing Manager

With gymnastic like agility and constant motion, Keep ‘em Guessing Manager flits from assignment to assignment, project to project and position to position, never staying in any one place long enough for objective evaluation of his/her performance or abilities to take place. Keep ‘em Guessing manager, a philosophy major in college, became a devotee of Heraclitus during that time, and now uses the blur of motion and flux for cover purposes. He/she is terrified that if he/she stops long enough in any one place the fog will dissipate and his/her inadequacies will come to light. Quoting Parmenides to Keep ‘em Guessing Manager is the ultimate insult and can result in termination with extreme prejudice.

It's Monday

And we all know what that means. Time for another MOTW, Manager of the Week. This next manager is closely related to the Energizer bunny, but is not as cute or cuddly.
