Ok, so I just talked to a professor from back home. She’s a real smart ass and really likes “sticking it to the man” at every chance…freedom fighter type, get it? She’s around 70 and pretty much looks like she would fall over if the wind blows.
Well, she just told me about a meeting she had with some community mental health agencies(pretty much treat the system like a clubhouse-general do nothings…beuracracy filled yada yada in my hometown. It was called a “donut meeting” in which she handed out donuts and delivered some hellish news.
It went like this according to her
open meeting-introduction blah blah
hand out donuts
wait til all agency reps are mid chew
drop bomb of permission to redistribute money to the association she is in control of…and others that are, um less “red tape” and more “red heart”…her quote
watch entire room’s mouth hang open…spilling donut on shirts.
So basically she walked in and told them she was pulling her funds from their agencies to be allocated elsewhere. Right? So she fired them in a sense. Nice.
Wow. Yeah, everyone should, yet I’m guessing not many people do.[/quote]
People like Claude Shannon baffle me. Their brains - how do they work? Do you think he shouted “lightweight baby!” before he owned some new mathematical/scientific development? What a guy!
