Long Day
This morning I felt a little sorry for Rick Wagoner, CEO of GM as he stoically accepted a "request" from the President of the USA to step down. This afternoon I can see why he was so calm about it when his payoff totals 23 million dollars. Don't ever tell me there's only one set of rules. Between the golden parachutes, the scandal of bankers bonus payments for failure and MP's expenses we have entered another golden era of sleaze. What's got me confused is the seeming lack of anger from the general public. I'm going to be paying for this mess for the rest of my life and if recent stats hurled around by financial journalists are to be believed so are the next generation. God help them. As if they won't have been left enough of a legacy with global warming. It feels like it's been a long day. I came off a lazy weekend, and had a bit of a non stop day with meetings, I ran my first demo / workshop to introduce twitter to some of the team at work, then into a quiz night to raise money for a child who has a terminal illness. After that drove 2 hours to hotel I'm staying at tonight in Bristol prior to a client visit tomorrow. So now it's heading towards midnight and I'm winding down trying to feel tired enough to sleep. I guess I feel weary rather than sleepy. My quiz team finished 4th out of 11 but we woz robbed! Honest guv! Sent from my iPhone
