There’s an old saying in the field of project management that goes something like this:  There are three variables — time, resources, and scope — and you can only control two of them.  (At least I think that’s how it goes; I’m getting older, and memory is the second thing to go. )  You can define the scope of the project and when it needs to finish; that will determine how many resources must be committed to it.  Or you can define the resources available and the scope of the project, which will determine when it will be completed.  Or you can define the resources available and when it must be completed, which will determine the scope (how much you can accomplish).

It’s an incredibly trite observation (triggered by an experience the other day), but we have similar trade offs in the world of P4P.

Just went to see Sweeney Todd. It was a great adaptation of the original musical… Tim Burton brought something to the show that I didn’t quite get from the Patty LuPone revival: ambiance. A sense of time and place. So amazingly visual, which didn’t hurt for such a bloodbath.

As my friend and I left, the only question I had on my mind was, “why didn’t the studio do a tie-in with Hot Pockets?” Like… free tickets… or a special “Human” flavor. Yum.

This company came in tonight for dinner at the restaurant I work at and I had the pleasure of serving them. They were overly generous in their tip and made my evening, over all, enjoyable. I wanted to give a blurb out - to everyone in San Antonio area - if you need new tires, wheels, etc - check ‘em out ….

A natale regalate profumi? io no! :) lo giuro!
