Most people think I am an irritant at best or a professional complainer at worst.
I am neither. I am an analyst. I cannot help myself. I look at the FACTS and develop the conclusions and, when I can, the solutions.
It worked for me for over 30 years. They paid me well for it. Probably more than you would think.
Just because it involves things not related to a business issue does not change anything.
I am an analyst. I have not lost my abilities. I do not have Alzheimer’s. Facts are facts and that has not changed. Analyzing them is what I did for a living, and I was darned successful. You can dismiss me. You can make fun of me. However, at the end of the day, how many of you have the chops to prove me wrong.
I am tired of this dismissal. Yes, I am old, but I am neither stupid nor senile. If you want to get into a battle of wits: pack you lunch (and make plans for dinner)!
In case you are wondering: yes, there is more than a little of the movie Network in me (without the insanity – I hope)!
I say what I say based not only on my point of view but every one of those points is supported by FACTS. If you prove me wrong, I will not obfuscate. I will admit my mistake. I expect the same, even though that admission from you is as rare as a passenger pigeon. But challenge me at your peril. I am tired of your dismissals. Quite frankly, I am tired of your emotional stupidity. If you do not have facts, make your posts about flowers, butterflies, sunsets, and your grandchildren.
