Is it wrong to take so much pleasure from finding the errors in a PowerPoint presentation that was done at our Board Meeting earlier this week? It seems sort of mean, yet with every error I find, I laugh a little more…

Let this be a lesson to you, when you’re recycling an old presentaion make sure you update all the numbers and all the charts, not just some of them!

Then again, maybe the lesson here is the effectiveness of presentations in general. After all here was a presentation with a handful of factual errors, including a chart that contradicted the text on the previous slide, and no one even noticed.

    I’ve seen numerous pointers this morning to IntraVnews, an new aggregator that works along with Micorosoft Outlook. I might just have to try this out on the laptop. It’s free for personal use, I’d have to pay for it if I used it at work. I’ll probably download it tonight and see how it works…

  • A question

    Erik Noble wonders if I really hate my job, and if so, why I’m still here. He is correct in his assumption that the reasons I’m still here are financial. I’m getting close to having been here 5 years, and those of you with pensions funds know what 5 years means. Fully vested! So there’s…
