It's a desert out there
Industry tradition, planned obsolescence, marketing and purchasing all came up in a great conversation with my spouse this afternoon. I have such strange ideas about things that it's probably a good thing I never went into corporate business. Things are done in ways that go against the very grain of my being. People like me have no place in the business world, unless we position ourselves at some edge of the corporate chaparral and scuttle from one meager shadow to another, moving fast enough so as not to get our feet burned, but slowly enough so that we don't attract the gaze from any coiled rattlesnakes.
