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

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- Poetry of Nature

Apr25
by on April 25, 2022 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

Clem Twang can tell you- poetry and the great outdoors don’t always jibe.  The outdoors is sloppy and dirty and slightly prickly and can change at the speed of, well, lightning, for that matter.  Poetry, on the other hand, is lyrical and specific and edited and focused.  And it rarely gives you a rash, or a bite on the ankle.

Hubris- Betweendoors

Dec15
by on December 15, 2017 at 12:01 am
Chapter:

I think it’s in Bill Bryson’s ‘A Walk In The Woods’ where he mentions how many Americans (That is, citizens of the U.S.) only walk between buildings and their cars.  Living like that, it actually takes days to walk a mile.

Fitbits came later, but the point remains.

Indoors Outdoors

Posted In: Talk About Toys

Everything in the world is on the web now, including the world itself. I get all kinds of RSS feed and links to cool, fun sites and blogs and catalogs and all. One of the best is THE ADVENTURE BLOG. I get an email every day with links to their latest fun stuff, and if there’s time, I troll around there and check it out.

They have this on there now:

So. Wanna keep up with the outdoors while you’re indoors? Or while you have your smartphone out? I know it seems a little daffy to geek out on the outdoors digitally, but hey… good content is good content.
