Innovation Danger!
The first quote comes from the president of the division where I once worked. I saw it in a magazine. It needs a bit of back-story first though. We'd just gone through one of the biggest frauds in the history of the stock market (it was before Enron and Worldcom). It was on the front page of the Wall Street Journal for a good month. There had been layoffs. Morale was in the toilet. So what was the quote?
We have a fun environment with creativity and fun.
I don't think I have ever laughed so hard. What the heck was "fun" doing in there once, much less twice? Hahaha!
On to the second quote. I'm reminded of it quite often, especially when watching the financial news on TV.
You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. - Eric Hoffer
Fun! Creativity and fun! The lack of "fun" is clearly what the president of my division feared most, and for good reason. Dark gallows humor was the only fun we had. I'm reminded of one team walking by my door. They'd just been laid off. One said, "Dead men walking." We all laughed, but nervously.
I said in yesterday's comments...
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting more retail trade charts tomorrow.
I'm awaiting the CPI data for October (released tomorrow) so that we can see how much of the retail trade data was driven by inflation.
I'm expecting a very tame CPI reading. If true, then retail sales look to be pretty good in October. It was certainly nice to see that they weren't driven by gasoline station sales anyway. (Gasoline stations' sales were actually down in October on a seasonally adjusted basis.)
The CPI reading was actually negative (deflation). That means that the real (inflation adjusted) sales numbers were very good. That said, I think the deflationary reading has "spook" written all over it if today's stock market is any indicator.
I got a bit distracted by this funplex post (and other things that have popped up) but still intend to post some retail charts soon. Sorry about that!
Yesterday my son's teacher said he wasn't having enough fun at school. She said she caught him not doing his schoolwork and staring off into space.
ReplyDeleteI'd better take him to the funplex.
Gotta remember to wear socks.
Gotta remember to not wear socks.

Audrey,
ReplyDeleteThe fun's so intense, I gotta wear socks!
The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades
Pat revealed on VH1's "100 Greatest One-hit Wonders of the '80s" list that the meaning of the song was widely misinterpreted as a positive perspective in regard to the near future. Pat somewhat clarified the meaning by stating that it was, contrary to popular belief, a "grim" outlook. While not saying so directly, he hinted at the idea that the bright future was in fact due to impending nuclear holocaust.
