a boy named john

The following is a sample of what the leader of the company I work for actually sends to ALL employees...maybe thats where I got the rambling idea from...but can you see how my ramblings are a bit more strenuous on the mind...I am not a CEO anyhow...well maybe not...CEO of the CHRONICLE..how about that Musings from your CEO … 2007 Issue 28 October 8 – 12 To Everyone: Well I decided to do an unofficial survey and see if folks could get through a week or more without hearing from me! No great surprise but it seems like we are all so busy that reading one less email a week is no cause for concern... Honestly, I have been super busy and feeling a bit burned out, with nothing terribly interesting to say. My travels have not taken me to our operations so I have not had a chance to catch up with any of you personally. It has also been a bad week for heroes, with Ms. Jones a fabulous runner, finally coming clean about her juiced performance as a star at the Olympics, and professional coaches "cheating" by stealing defensive signals. I guess the most disturbing part to me has been the number of folks who seem to condone the behavior and say that it is all about winning not playing by the rules! I recently read a letter to the editor in Time magazine. The letter was about a team that chose to forfeit a win and their championship in football when they realized that they had been inadvertently given 5 downs in a series. When they realized it they voted to give up the championship; those guys were real heroes and sportsmen in my book, unfortunately it happened more than 50 years ago! October is half over and when I look at one of my goals for 2007, I realize that I have a very long way to go if I have any hope of visiting even half of our offices this year! I am disappointed but feel it's still a worthy goal (and one that gets tougher every year with our growth). Thanks to those of you who sent me a note on Boss's day. I hope to hear from you on other days as well! See you soon? ====================== WARNING TREACHEROUS MINDFIELD AHEAD PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!
