nothing succeeds like failure

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kawasaki, 2020.04.10

At the end of the week I can report than both of the jobs I thought I'd saved have slipped through our fingers. This will have a knock-on effect on several of the projects by which my own success will be judged. I really despise the annual "review" process-at which the lies told staff are exposed and all the good ones with any option leave.

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
