"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

…or, as I said to the spousal unit this morning, “those people must crank out No. 2’s like Honda makes Civic’s”…
FYI: Eberhard Faber no.2’s are all yellow… 😉
It’s an odd table of organization, Jack, one guy at the top and everyone else is #2.
The standard EFs are yellow, as are Dixon’s, Anya, but I like blue and have owned EF #2s in many different colors, albeit in Europe.
Aha, this being the Internets, I have pictures.
Al-Qaeda obviously needs a lesson in efficient management; perhaps they should learn to Scale Your Organization.
As near as I can tell they are doing alright without management consultants, Bobby. Binladen, the family business, is billion+ dollar operation in the Middle East, and Osama didn’t do so badly in his personal ventures, unlike some world leaders.
Not that Al Qaeda is funny, but your graphic had me laughing for minutes. Thanks; I needed that!
Steve, now they’re saying he “was on the top tier”. I hope they called for assistance before reaching for people on the top tier.
