Erotic moments are not unheard of in office environments, though my interest at the moment is on the tension in biz culture between claims to empiricism/bottom-line toughness and an equally strong set of beliefs in murky (often Romantic) ideas of leadership, creativity and culture, leading to disorienting gaps (between saying and doing, ability and status, success and reward, claimed and actual impact, etc., etc).skhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147770743305509403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081835178172740261.post-28827670808040207892007-11-14T12:12:00.000-08:002007-11-14T12:12:00.000-08:00Slick shift midway into the present tense.

Plus, I get bored easily so thought a change of pace might be entertaining.skhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147770743305509403noreply@blogger.com
