Exit Strategy

You know you've lingered too long in the delusion that is a corporate environment when you find yourself contemplating an 'exit strategy' with reference to your own life! A random debate about whether homosexuality can be induced or perhaps cultivated, i.e. a trained behaviour much like Pavolv's pooch or a terrorist indoctrine, and you start to think about metronomes ticking in cycles of 9 to 5. Another 35,000 let loose to roam the streets once BoA completes it's take over of Merrill Lynch. Do they deliberate their 'exit strategies' over bagels and coffee? Or do they just pack up and leave?
It's an interesting point. If we can create drones in the workplace, turn once vibrant minds and emotions into mind numbing conference calls and mortgage re-payments, perhaps we can inculcate sexual orientation through trained behaviour. Granted, the concept seems more plausible at 22 than at 38, but look around you. The cliché is a rat race. How long before you get so totally sucked in and the Matrix is a reality? Bob Nardelli is the Matrix. As is his corporate jet. And Capitol Hill.
A binary world. The unknown. Maya. Hmmm. I should start identifying synergies and an integrated platform - weekly brainstorming sessions, funky graphs, and at least fourteen pointless conference calls should get me to a first draft by Q1 '09....
