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.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
