Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth--Mike Tyson
C.: Well, I couldn’t watch my favorite serial that has been cancelled on the inmate at The
Kennel’s iPad, because he caught me before I could watch that program. However, I was
able to take a screenshot of the URL for the channel he used to access the website that carries live and recorded tv programs. Now, I can watch whatever I want, but I must do it on my phone. That’s okay, because Tucker’s using his large screen TV to watch old videos of him fighting. He wants to improve his technique by doing that.
My new husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known as The
Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As “T” Because “Triple T” Was Already Taken, is the heavyweight cat fighting champion of the world in five different categories. And he knocked out his last opponent in three seconds. But Tucker’s not satisfied with that. He believes it took him 0.000027 seconds too long to knock out his opponent, so he wants to improve his cat fighting skills. So, I’ll just watch this show on my phone.
Okay, the premise is this: two entities, who are close, but were formerly closer, are at odds with each other. That’s because they each want a certain assignment. The older entity has had this assignment several times before, but still wants it again.
The younger entity has had the assignment once, and wants to go back and succeed this time, like the older entity did a couple of times. It’s also interesting how each entity became so successful.
The older entity worked for several years, finally becoming successful at their job.
However, this entity got frustrated and decided to take a different approach because they weren’t quite successful enough to be satisfied. This entity fired all their veteran employees and started over with young employees, cutting payroll along the way. Because they were so bad at their jobs, this entity received a lot of help from outside sources. Eventually, this entity became extremely successful, creating jealousy throughout the industry in which they were involved. Rumors spread of illegal activity, but this entity claimed it did nothing that almost every other entity in its occupation did.
The younger entity got jealous of the older entity’s success, but was smart enough to
recognize a good model when it saw one. That’s when they decided to emulate the older entity’s thinking, firing all their older employees and starting over with young employees. It took a few years, but this approach resulted in success for them. Then, the two entities decided to try for the same assignment.
The younger entity started out well, but faltered as the competition progressed. However, they recovered, and it seemed that they would be chosen for the assignment. They had a successful presentation that they thought made the older entity jealous, but the older entity’s leader argued that it was just business as usual.
Some thought the older entity’s leader was using a delay tactic, so that his second in
command would have time to bring in “new blood” and make the younger entity’s
employees' presentation ineffective. There were hard feelings on both sides because of all the tactics and techniques used.
The XO did bring in two new employees, or new blood if you will. They were both
successful with a conservative approach. Then, the best employee at the older entity had his turn, and…. he knocked it out of the park! Josie saves the day once again.
Boy, that Astros–Rangers’ game had all the elements of a good drama! Now, to watch the lost episodes of “One Life to Give….”
Well, we’re out of time for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow and see if d.c.’s imagination can come up with something better than the Astros-Rangers’ series, or if fact is, indeed, stranger than fiction.
d.: Challenge accepted.
