1) Rest in peace, Don Adams. Get Smart was one of the funniest sitcoms on TV way back when (how could it miss - Mel Brooks was the writer - interesting piece of trivia - he decided to put the show on TV as a way to get money to fund his new movie, The Producers). Farewell, "Maxvell Shmaht" (think pre-Love Boat Bernie Kopel).
2) Gartner is going to struggle to keep its revenues up. I hear from more vendors that are strong arming contract negotiations about reps that are MUCH more willing to deal than ever before. Actually, I should say that the INDUSTRY will ultimately struggle - Gartner is simply the 800 lb. gorilla (how much is that in kg, kids?) that will be first to feel the brunt.
3) When your 10 year old daughter asks you where she will go to college, you say:
- Yale
- Wherever you want, as long as you get the grades to support it
- You're never leaving this house, young lady
- Someplace with NO fraternities
- Someplace with NO sororities
- Who cares...can I go too?
4) Which is the more likely scenario:
- The Mets win out, Houston loses every game, and the Mets make the playoffs
- The Yankees choke in the last game with Boston and are eliminated from the playoffs
- Broadway Joe makes a return to the gridiron despite his knees, former alcohol issues and age and leads the Jets to the Super Bowl
- I win the Ironman World championships in Hawaii.
Here's one thing I don't miss about the cube at my last job -- the aftermath of a McDonald's chocolate shake (think about it).
