With apologies to my ultra creative friends at the Vancouver Film School.

We talk a lot about the technology, we talk a lot about the potential of the technology.

What we don't talk about, is the individuals ability to think beyond the restraints of their own individual psyche. Nor the abilty to listen and analyze. Whether you use the buzz word statement like "out of the box" or something like "connecting the dots", its all out there to formulate into a rational, mature, comprehensive, cohesive package of information and analysis. "IF" you want to....and if you "WANT" to.

So if we all have these abilities, why don't we use them ? You know, truth be told, I like updates too. In fact I get updates on some projects, by the hour. Then again, its my repute and good name at stake. So I need to know whats going on in for example.......Lab 11-C with the Dowager Project....lets say. The pressures on to bring the project to a successful completion, the owner wants to bring to market STAT. The only problem is, our reputation is such that when you work with "stat" as an over the head attitude, mistakes get made, costs over run, accidents happen. We DON'T work wirth STAT, we work with a well thought out plan, on a budget, with a variance or two. Amazingly it still comes to a successful completion, within budget and on time.

Yes, yes, I know some of us have been here for 3, 4, 5 years and its about time we get a slice of birthday cake. Yes, birthday cake, we all want to see what the cake is, the icing, a taste....just a sweet and dainty nibble, yes we would. But maybe the chef has delayed the cake by a few minutes for an improper oven calibration ? The icing pipette is clogged, the fondant has not quite been rolled out properly ? Could be the recipe is even missing an ingredient, something rare maybe ?

If I were a betting girl.........

If only i knew when the birthday was.......

But then again, you can't keep everyone happy.
