People will often say “Don’t Boil The Ocean” when dealing with complicated efforts and projects. This is total BS.
Making “directionally correct” documents that don’t solve for outstanding data needs create a vicious cycle of manual work that is very difficult to break out of.
In difficult situations we SHOULD be talking about “boiling the ocean” and doing the hard work.
A thought experiment encouraging office workers to simplify. My focus is on procurement, but this video applies to any job.
Kung-Fu is the perfect analogy because evolution is mandatory. There is always someone pushing to improve and innovate. Failure to adapt = defeat.
Note: I have two versions of The New Kung-Fu, this one is a little edgy (PG-13 if you will). The more “professional” version can be viewed at The Source.
I was lucky to receive the COVID-19 vaccination (first shot) at the Gloucester County Mega Vaccination Center (Rowan @ GCC) this week.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to make a post about it, but I thought it would benefit people to know how the lines operated. While this is a South Jersey specific post, I think some of the tips are universal.

Allison and I got flu shots today at Target… who doesn’t not respect the concept of an appointment. Ben experienced a different kind of shoot, a photo shoot. Our friend’s children also took advantage of the photographer being there, and I had a nice conversation with our old friend Jackson.
