Supervisor Weasel says....

The CWA See-N-Say is hilarious. Meanwhile, the union has announced that they'll be striking for four days, starting at 00:01 on Friday. The job action is to emphasize their demand for access to jobs in growth areas. They do not want to be stuck in the dead-end PSTN jobs.

Think of the union as a contractor, which it essentially is, in competition with construction teams from Level3, with call centers in Bangalore, with repairmen from Radio Shack, though not with Accenture. Think of yourself as a free agent. Can the union compete with bids from those companies? Can you compete with the consultant?

Why not?

(Whether or not this company should seek outside providers for certain operations depends on what this company is.)

Dumbness

Denise Howell has signed up for teaching her tot sign language. Our first made great use of the sign for "more."

I think it is interesting that we, humans, equate an inability to communicate with the lack of intelligence. This shows in our language, in words such as barbarian and dumb, and in how we treat manglers of it. We think in words so we focus on them, when there are so many different ways to talk. The parent learns to communicate with her child as much as the child does with her parent.

And that's a wonderful feeling!
