It should have dawned on me many years ago that, in my role as IT Manager at St Christopher's School Bahrain, I should be publishing some of what I do out into the WWW (that's the Wild Wild Web) rather than just getting on with my job - privately, selfishly almost. So, here I sit, quietly cursing the period of the year where I upset some people: Resources and Budgeting.
"I want 10 of X", "I want 50 of Y", "We want 100 of X AND Y", "I want to trial Project Delta"
"Mmmm, but the pot of money suggests something quite different," I ponder.
So, when it gets to your turn to get upset by me (that includes those of you I don't work with ... yet), don't say "Hmmph. I didn't get that bid"; rather, say "I didn't get that bid, YET"
Equally, if you've never had bids questioned/turned down/rejected/reduced ... you, too, can add YET.
Time: Nature's way of making sure that not everything happens at once.
