House of Dioxin

I've been thinkin' lately that many of the problems swirling around me (this mostly relates to work) could have been prevented with a bit of RTFM. It can be helpful, por ejemplo, to be able to distinguish between "colleague" and "boss." On the other hand, sometimes they rewrite the manual and don't bother to tell anyone. In my case, I found out that a few jobs that I used to do are being centralized down to Ratlanta. I liked these projects. But there are also more things in my vaguely defined job than I can get done in a week anyway. And I can see the value of having us integrated into the region, as opposed to the independent, out-on-our-own way we used to run. We're good at what we do. That's always given us mucho slack. But sometimes, it seems, being good at what you do isn't quite enough. Still, it's way more fun to be pirates...
(argh!)
