Innovative Thinking

There are times when management tries to force new work flows. Usually this is because they read an article or attended a yellow belt class. Today our office was subjected to a surprise lesson on cutting bread.

I removed the knives from the suite 201 kitchen to encourage some innovative thinking on how to cut bread without damaging our countertops. The idea appears to have worked; the bread was consumed and the damage to the countertops is no worse.

Today at my company, they are having their annual awards presentation, not sure what that means but the excitement here is pretty much non-existent.

I don't really know who will be receiving awards or what they will be for, I do however think I am going to clap louder than everyone else. I may try and continue clapping long after everyone else stops.

Maybe there will be some cake or something to make the meeting worth while.
