I didn't get a chance to post anything yesterday; I was simply too busy again. All was going according to scripture for the first part of the day. I'd thundered through my in-box like a flaming mallet through a vegelate anvil. But my editor-in-chief hoyed a curve ball at me out of nowhere.
It was one of those seemingly harmless, nebulous requests for a some vague analysis for a presentation he's giving next week. Unfortunately, I couldn't divine what answer he wanted from me. That's how analysis works in the modern office environment, by-the-way. It isn't a detached, logical safari for the truth. It's quasi-scientific self-justification dressed up as fact. And as all professional analysts know, fact is a movable feast.
So I hacked away at some non-committal charts and tables for a few hours and hoped for the best. That took me most of the evening, so there wasn't time to post. So I didn't. Sorry.
