We were in a meeting at research division and my boss, an ex-marine, was having a very difficult time getting the head scientist in charge of the process line to promise not to change the process for this one run. The scientist had his goal of continuously improving the process, we just needed something consistent. Frustrated, my boss asked the scientist what his response would be if he was hanging by his foot out that window. The scientist fumbled for words, paused, and a compromise was agreed to. I have always wondered what would have happened if the compromise had not been met. My boss would never give me a straight answer on what he would have eventually done.

“Being honest would mean admitting that we’re failing, and we can’t do that, coz then we’d have to stop failing.” Truer words.

Greta acquired a slight Glaswegian accent when she lapsed at COP 26. This piece is as true and cogent as it is vulgar and well spoken.
