Hubris- Corporate Weekends

Nov06
by on November 6, 2023 at 5:13 am
Chapter:

Let’s see, so far, Lowell got in trouble at Sportsmart for trying to design and lead a corporate weekend.  And Hubris took a family rafting down a river which led to a corporate weekend.  Paintball was involved in there somewhere.  Now, suddenly, Outdoor Galore Store itself is having a corporate weekend outing.    This is grand, isn’t it?  If the corporate world can just monetize and monopolize the natural world, then everything will be under the sway of profit.

“Profit” is the name of a demon from the eighth circle of hell, isn’t it?  Maybe it’s more of a nickname.  Lots of stuff is done in that name, though, so it’s okay.

Hubris- Baby Steps

Sep15
by on September 15, 2023 at 10:16 am
Chapter:

Bob’s alway willing to help.

 

He’ll probably wind up helping folks into learning things they didn’t expect or think they needed to learn, but that’s still HELP.

Hubris- Corporate Structure

Jun28
by on June 28, 2023 at 4:59 pm
Chapter:

Hubris wasn’t much of a corporate style boss.

David, on the other hand, probably doesn’t know what other kind of boss to be.  So forgive him if he just wants what he wants and expects that his employees know how to get things done.

Nikki, on the other hand, knows when someone’s asking for something they don’t really want.

She probably knows that Bob ISN’T asking to be tossed under the bus, but Bob pretty laid back.  If a bus can pass over without doing damage, Bob might just be the passee.

How do YOU suppose this will shake out?

Hubris- Outdoors by Proxy

Apr24
by on April 24, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

David seems like his primary outdoors experience would be an hour or two at a tennis court.  You know, something civilized and cultured.  I mean, the outfits have collars and everything.

I figure Ms. Wiggins-Ross’s outdoors of choice would be sailboats.  Operated by other people while she sits quietly until they get to another cell phone-friendly area of the world.

We know Lowell’s favorite outdoors activities now include downhill runs on a li’l red wagon, so surely he’ll be fine when they get outside.

Right?

Hubris- Rethinking Strategies

Apr20
by on April 20, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

David’s in a tough spot.  He’s fronting this out-of-the-ordinary project for his investment group, and trying to build up his son’s professional career, and leveraging these two corporate movers to manage a new business he’s just bought into… not long after discovering that it exists.

So, it’s hard to look askance at him if he’s suddenly realized that making a profit was also part of the equation.

Hubris- Boardskating

Apr17
by on April 17, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

Getting those events in other towns and cities to recognize the OutdoorFest as a qualifier might be easier than getting David to care enough about Outdoors stuff that he’ll remember what any of it is called.

Hubris-News about Shoes

Feb08
by on February 8, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

David could probably tell you what footwear would be suitable for an afternoon round of golf versus a morning tee time, and variations based on weather.

It’s just that the idea of various footwear for doing anything Paste does is a little beyond him.

He also couldn’t pick out a good pair of deer hunting boots if you bet him a substantial amount of money and gave him five choices to pick from.

Hubris- Father, Student

Feb06
by on February 6, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

I’m having a tough time picturing David skateboarding happily.

Determinedly, yes.  Focused, yes.  Injured, probably.

But not “Happily”.

And that’s a shame.  It’s something you should do happily.

Hubris- What About Bob, again?

Jan25
by on January 25, 2023 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

Poor Bob.

He probably doesn’t mind at all, but he’s gone from a surfer dude, to being a competition ringer at the first Fest and thereby a momentary Sportsmart employee, thence to a OGS employee, to a house-sitter, to a flunky for an egomaniac with a budget… while being a house-sitter again.  It can’t be a calming turn of fortune.  Fortunately, Bob supplies his own calm.  ‘Til he’s crushed under a kid flyin’ around on a skateboard.

Bob’s my hero.
