It really is a Tuesday

Okay, so it has been a few days hasn't it?  Seems much longer.  

Amazing that as the daylight last a bit less each day, each days seem to stretch out a bit longer.

This time tomorrow, headlines will abound about today's events across the country.

We will all be in our little burb, complaining or crowing about the outcome. Pollsters will be touting about their skills or pointing out the fact that they have been hedging their predictions all along.  The diehards on the left and the right, well you get the picture.

We in Fairhaven, well we will get more stories about employee time, tweaking RFPs and whatnot. 

The accountability factor will soon enough be resolved.  Perhaps not totally.  One or two positions will escape the net of or new government. 

Before I go any further, I will not that I missed the meeting last night, so other than the blurb in the daily paper, I have no clue what went on at the meeting last night. I had planned on attending, but then planned on not.  I was going to watch, but couldn't muster even that amount of energy.

Then to read the headline in the paper (online version), only confirmed the wisdom of my decision.

This little issue, arising out of what is probably a problem, real or simply perceived, with some but not all, provides some insight into matters of management, does it not?

There is no solution that will fit every position perfectly, and no solution that will make everyone happy. So find the most rationale one and implement it. Requiring accountability for every single minute of every day is not a reality, nor do I think, or I should say hope, is the ultimate goal.  Not all positions fit into the standard work week either.  Indeed for some, the standard work week should include weekend days instead of the normal M -F.  

But I digress a bit too much in a way.  The point is not to map out a possible solution.  The point is if there is a problem, real or simply perceived, with some but not all, it does provides some insight into matters of SOP

But hey, we all get that, right?

Anyway ...

In reality the biggest fish to fry today is for every registered voter to go and vote. The reality is the outcome will be a perverse fish and loaves.  The multitude will be force fed by the efforts of those few going to the polls.  

It becomes a sad world indeed when you hear people who haven't voted in years get excited about an election, not because of the candidates, but ballot questions.  You might argue that is a good thing, if it gets them out to vote. It would be a good thing if it was the impetus to get them out to vote in every election.  

Going out to vote simply because you don't want to pay a nickle deposit on a water bottle isn't being a concerned citizen in my book. 

Anyway ... 

Enough for today. 

Be safe.
