A friend is getting involved in politics for the 1st time. Went to local mtg where guys in charge said: we want to have a concert in 6wks. She asked ?s They had no venue, no bands, etc. She made a PowerPoint on tasks needed & a realistic timeline. Them: You're too corporate, not progressive enough.

I sure am glad I'm not Sisyphus, cursed to forever do the same task. I am constantly making progress on my job and rewarded with new tasks.
