Episode 39:   Part 1 of “Who Ate the Danish?”

“Consider your verdict” the King said to the jury.

“Not yet, not yet!” the rabbit hastily interrupted. “There’s a great deal to come before that.”

L. Carroll     “Who Stole the Tarts?”

Who stole the tarts

Pfeffer called another meeting but no one knew what the purpose was.

 

It was another of those meetings that Alex hated;

the kind that ate up tons and tons of time,

the kind where the very incompetent,

had very much to say about nothing,

the kind where erroneous decisions

were apparently made for

the almost right reasons,

the kind where groups

thought in parallel

which created an

atmosphere where

one’s dissention

wasn’t the least

tolerated.

 

Pfeffer had not yet arrived

so various beings attempted

to grab some

power.

 

During the meeting Henry exerted his

pseudo importance by demanding

to know who entered

the meeting room

first.

 

The basis for his demand was his perception

that someone had eaten all the creame-filled

Danish before the others had arrived.

Henry huffed and puffed and

interjected power words like

“Indeed” and the phrase

“How dare you?”

 

He believed that these comments

gave strength to his argument.

 

Myrtle finally spoke up to inform Henry

that he, Myrtle, CFO, had signed

and distributed a memo

weeks ago.

 

The memo stated that “meeting food” would be limited

to plain and sugared doughnuts.

Danish and other pastries

were no longer to be

purchased due to the

austerity budget

the corporation

was on.

 

“Do more with less”, “Walk the talk” blubbered the fish from his bowl.

 

The beaver, who had been sharpening his large teeth

on an aluminum chair leg, stood up – – – straight.

It was a three-point support system; his two legs

and one cross-hatched tail giving him stability.

(with the tail doing most of the work).

“Wait a second there Bub” he stated directly at Myrtle.

“Do you think that not having pastries at an

important meeting such as this will save

our company from bankruptcy?”

 

“The tag is Myrtle, not ‘Bub’, an’ the green

ain’t the point; the message be the point”

responded the CFO.

 

“Point of order. Let it be noted. Table the pastries” cried out the fish.

Episode 38:      “Ά  ≠   Ω“

Truth and lies

The forging works were crude at first,

But for precision work there was a thirst,

Forging wrenches; a thing of the past,

Precision machining arrived at last.

 

The works grew cleaner; smoked less too,

Master mechanics and engineers, a few,

Built mechanical calculators; precise to a “t,”

That counted the census (that’s you and me).

 

Electron tube, conductor, logical gate,

Were the next step (and luckily, not too late),

Floating point logorithms repeatedly executed,

Algorithms performed, ever so convoluted.

 

Nerds designed logic, geeks wrote code,

Serial, overlapping and parallel mode,

Managers exhorting, fomenting, cajoling,

Workers aped them with eyes ever rolling.

 

Top management aloof, arrogant and haughty,

Insider trading, stock options and naughty,

Behind the scenes playboys a’sailing,

While stockholders were increasingly wailing.

 

The CEO was laying blame at the feet,

Of the workers who were taking the heat,

Without whining (not like leadership ‘on high’),

They took the layoffs without hardly a sigh.

 

“Not my fault, uh-uh, not me, not me,

Cried the executive levels; one, two and three,

Until the obvious reasons; illuminated bright,

Then they were gone in the middle of the night.

Episode 37: Part 4 of “The Imposter’s Koan Drill“

Koan Medibating

“You see” said Pfeffer, “the premise makes

no sense yet it produces thought.

Your thoughts are as valid as

the next person’s.

Your thoughts,

however, are

useless

unless

you

voice

them.

 

Only then will we be able to state

our corporate culture in terms

that we can all understand

and agree on.

(Pfeffer then repeated the Koan)

“The CEO was approached by an apprentice toolmaker

who asked ‘How they hangin’?’

The CEO smiled and said

‘They aren’t.’”

 

The moose stated his thoughts.

“The toolmaker apprentice

does not hang people;

therefore no one

is hanging.”

 

The beaver then spoke up.

“The CEO can not make a

commitment; therefore

we should not expect

the CEO to take a

leadership position

on how they

should

hang.”

 

The fish could not voice

his thoughts because

he could not stop

giggling.

 

Henry finally said “Well, I dress to

the left and therefore if I was the

CEO I would have said

‘to the left’.”

 

Brad then stated his position.

“I wear tighty-whities

and they don’t hang

– – – – so I could be

the CEO.”

 

Lola quickly jumped in and said

“Brad, you could be wearing

 ———not a thing ——–

and they still wouldn’t

be hanging.”

 

Brad’s face turned a bright red.

He quickly rose to his feet

and departed

the meeting.

 

After the door closed Myrtle stated his viewpoint.

“The CEO has been castrated

and therefore must reply

as he did – – –

‘They aren’t’.”

 

“Oh my God” shouted out Alex

directly at Pfeffer,

“You are the CEO.

You can’t possibly

be hanging.”

 

Pfeffer took a step backward,

surprised that Alex had

guessed its secret.

Soon a wicked

grin crossed

its face.

 

Myrtle and Alex looked at each other

across the table but no words

were spoken.

 

Pfeffer immediately adjourned the meeting.

Episode 36: Part 3 of “The Imposter’s Koan Drill“

(In our previous “edge of your seat” and “spine tingling” episode Pfeffer {aka “it”}, suggested they use the Koan Method for defining their corporate culture. The beaver then asked for an example of such a method.)

And now; on with the story.

Pfeffer thought for a minute and then said

“Have you studied your books?”

 

“What books?” asked the beaver.

beaver dumb

An exasperated Pfeffer loudly answered

“The ones you bought while going

to college; you numbskull.”

 

“Why yes” replied the beaver respectfully.

 

“Well, – – – – – then burn them” commanded Pfeffer.

 

“What does that mean?” asked Henry

while fiddling with his silk tie.

 

The moose quickly responded

“It means to raise them

to the temperature

required to cause

combustion.

That way

they will

catch on

fire.”

 

“FIRE – – Fire – – – Fire” the fish screamed

while circling around and around

in his fire-proof bowl.

 

Brad ran to the doorway and grabbed

the fire extinguisher. Before anyone

could stop him he had sprayed

the complete contents over

the whole room including

all humans, beasts

and Pfeffer.

 

Everyone had cleaned themselves as best they could.

Pfeffer then continued her corporate culture session.

“It does not mean to burn books or anything of

the sort” said Pfeffer. “It is a question without

a specific answer. Whatever answer you

come up with is the correct one.

It is an exercise to get you to think

about answers that fit within

the context of our new

corporate culture.

We, then, can

define our

culture

in terms

of our

answers.

 

Myrtle and Alex looked at each other in amazement.

“Pfeffer might be on to something”

they thought, in unison.

 

“Let’s try a puzzling one” said Lola as she

batted her eyelashes at Alex.

She knew that he knew

something and she had

to find out what

it was.

 

“OK” responded Pfeffer and continued.

 

“The CEO was approached by an apprentice toolmaker

who asked ‘How they hangin’?’

The CEO smiled and said

‘They aren’t.’”

 

The fish giggled at the story while the moose

was preoccupied with cleaning the last bit

of fire-foam from his antlers.

Henry had heard the strange

conversation that Pfeffer

had proposed to elicit

enlightened thoughts.

 

(you know; the conversation between the CEO and the apprentice).

Henry sat back posing thoughtfully

(for others benefit)

with his hand on his chin.

Brad and Lola huddled

together in quiet

discussion

regarding

answers.

 

The beaver frantically scribbled something

in his notebook while Alex and Myrtle

were lost in their individual thoughts.

Episode 35: Part 2 of “The Imposter’s Koan Drill“

militia_mooseBeaver with ammo

The hour and the day of meeting arrived and Alex

found himself in front of the meeting room.

Everyone was there except for Brad

and the fish. Pfeffer greeted

everyone as they arrived.

After a few minutes she/it

restated the purpose

of the meeting,

“Corporate Culture.”

 

The Moose and the Beaver were looking quite

militant while attempting to reflect

their new roles in the

Radical Flea Party.

The prevailing thought was that they

had previously been skinned

and hung out to dry.

Alex and Myrtle

glanced at each

other and grinned;

not about poor

Brad and fish

but at knowing

that this would

be another

useless

meeting.

 

Pfeffer had hardly started when Brad walked in the door

with the fish bowl pressed up against his right eye.

He had the eye wide open and the fishbowl

magnified its size by a power of four.

 

“Brad” demanded Pfeffer tersely,

“what the hell are you doing?”

 

“Scaring the fish” answered Brad, quite truthfully.

 

And indeed he was; for the fish was backed up

against the opposite side of the bowl

with his pectoral fins

almost covering

his eyes.

 

“Put the fish on the table and sit down”

commanded Pfeffer.

Then under

its breath

it added,

“Idiot!”

 

“Yes Maam, – – – er – – – -,

Sir, – – -er – – –

Excellency”

stumbled

Brad.

 

Pfeffer continued “Now that we are all here I will

continue on with the subject of the meeting.

Our goal today is to ask questions

that make no sense, and then,

not answer them.

Is that clear?”

 

“I know, I know, I know” said the fish excitedly

as he leaped in and out of the water.

 

“What do you know?” asked Pfeffer.

 

The fish said proudly “I know what you meant.”

 

“I meant what I said” explained Pfeffer.

 

The fish responded with “Now that we are all here”

and was about to repeat every

last word that Pfeffer

had uttered.

 

Pfeffer grabbed her notebook and

placed it over the fish’s bowl.

The fish sank dejectedly

to the bottom and

slowly moved

his fins over

the gravel

bottom.

 

“Ain’t nuttin’ clear”

came the confident

voice of Myrtle.

 

Pfeffer went on to explain. “Our engineers do all

their work with logic and refer to their

textbooks for formulas and algorithms.

That method does not work for

defining a corporate culture.

We must find our own way

to enlightenment.

We wil do a

Koan drill.”

 

“I would prefer an example” stated the beaver.

Episode 34: Part 1 of “The Imposter’s Koan Drill“

“How the creatures order one another about, and make one repeat lessons!” thought Alice, “I might as well be at school at once.”

L. Carroll     “The Lobster Quadrille”

Lobster Quadrille

Alex, like Pfeffer had promised,

was promoted out of

the forging works.

 

That was his reward for covering the Coquettish Queen’s

rather large rear-end. The productivity of the forge

had quadrupled. Alex had explained to

the chalkies that their future was

in their own hands. Thereafter

they paid homage to the queen

but instituted their own

manufacturing

methods.

 

Alex’s new workplace was the development lab.

He was thrilled with his environment

but was surprised to find

ponytailed Brad and

wing-tipped Henry

(his previous mentors)

also assigned

to the lab.

 

Once Alex had assured himself that these two

would not be his mentors he set about

planning out his future.

This was done by

visiting various

areas of

the lab.

 

He showed genuine interest in each phase of the

business by asking meaningful questions.

Alex also developed friendships

and working relationships

throughout

the lab.

 

Over the next few years Alex also sensed some

troublesome facts. Brad and Henry appeared

to have some type of influence within the lab.

Alex also noted that the third proposed

mentor, Lola, and Pfeffer

(from time to time)

would appear in

various meetings.

These two also

seemed to have

a following.

 

One day Alex found himself invited

to one of these meetings.

The invitation came

from Pfeffer.

 

The subject of the meeting was listed as

“Our Corporate Culture.”

Alex scanned the memo

for any additional

information that

might give him

a hint about

the subject.

 

But alas, there was not any more data

that would help him. Being a little

perplexed Alex decided that

there may be something

gleaned from the

invitee list.

 

The list only confused Alex farther.

Besides himself the invitees

included Brad, Lola,

Henry, Myrtle,

the moose,

the beaver,

and the

fish.

 

It was, indeed, a strange group.

Episode 33: Part 6 of “Black Myrtle’s Glory“

dept justice

Alex thought for a minute and then asked

“What was it that Holder said?

I know it was something

about America being

too cowardly to have

a discussion

about race.”

 

Myrtle grinned that big

(almost benign)

smile that reminded

Alex of the Cheshire

cat.

 

“Is that what we are doing?” asked Alex.

“Are we having a non-cowardly

discussion about race?”

 

“Yeh” said Myrtle, “an’ you doin’

 

a good job fo’ a cracker.”

 

“You are doing one outstanding job yourself

– – – – for a dark cloud” responded Alex.

 

They both got the humor of the situation

at the same moment. Myrtle’s smile

became downright brotherly

and Alex broke into a

large toothy grin.

They grabbed

each others

hand for

a hearty

shake and

slapped

each

other

on the

back.

 

Their laughter filled the tool room

and overtook the clatter

the machines.

 

“C’mon brother” said Alex. “Let’s go have a coffee.

I think we know each other quite intimately.

Now we can get to make

each of the other’s

acquaintance.

 

As they walked toward the coffee area

Alex gave Myrtle a playful shove.

Myrtle returned the friendly play

with a forceful shoulder block.

Alex bounced off the wall

and almost fell.

 

Myrtle grabbed him and queried

Alex to see if he was OK.

It was a truly

touching

scene.

 

Over coffee Alex explained to Myrtle

that he was highly paid because

he served an apprenticeship

with an alchemist.

 

Myrtle saw Alex’s point but still had a question.

“But you makin’ more money dan me”

noted Myrtle.

 

“It is all supply and demand” said Alex.

“Do you realize how many

CPAs there are?”

asked Alex.

 

He followed up with “and how many toolmakers?

The colleges are putting out more CPAs

than lawyers; and that’s

saying something.

At the same time

no one is training

toolmakers and

they now are

dying off,

left and

right.”

 

“Dat’s fine” said Myrtle, “cuz you gonna die

for I do. An’ like good myrtle I’z gonna

cover you grave an’ wet you down

every four hours or so.”

 

They both enjoyed a good laugh

at the allegory of Myrtle’s

graveyard voidance.

They shook hands

again but this time

with each other

clasping the

handshake

with their

free hand.

 

The friendly good-by was enough said

to make them trusting

friends for life.

Myrtle2

“Now, about your name – – – -,

how did you get that?”

asked Alex.

 

“Pleased you axed” said Myrtle.

“You know what Myrtle is?”

 

“Yes” answered Alex. “It is a perennial plant

with tiny green leaves and grows

on the ground like a vine.

It has purple flowers

in the spring and

early summer; it

grows best in

the shade;

and found

around

grave

yards.”

 

“Right on man. I is green, like money,

as any CFO should be, and,

purple, like any black man

should be” answered

Myrtle to the

unasked

question.

 

“That is pretty deep for a guy

named Myrtle” said Alex.

 

“You mean pretty deep

for a Porch Monkey?”

responded Myrtle.

 

“I meant no such thing” retorted Alex.

“Why do you keep bringing race

into our conversation?”

Alex asked.

 

“Justice” answered Myrtle.

 

“Justice? Who’s justice?”

asked Alex.

 

“You justice” Myrtle said without emotion.

 

“My justice?” asked Alex incredulously.

 

“Yeh. You Justice Department.

You knows who justice.

Dat Oreo Holder.”

Myrtle had finally

laid out his

argument.

 

“Are you speaking of Eric Holder

the Attorney General?”

queried Alex.

 

“Yeh, dat justice” clarified Myrtle.

Angry Alex

“Now hold on there – – – – whoever you are”

said Alex with his dander up.

 

“Myrtle. They tagged me Myrtle”

answered the black man.

 

“Sorry about that” said Alex.

“Sorry about the name”

he said, trying to keep

an upper hand in

the conversation.

 

 

“Nothin’ ta be sorry for” said Myrtle.

“I is down with it.”

 

“Well Myrtle,” said Alex,

“who are you

and what can

I do for

you?”

 

“I’ze da CFO o’ dis foundry, an’ I’ze here to fine out

why you getting’ pay’d so much loot”

answered Myrtle.

 

“I guess I owe you an apology”

said Alex as he quickly

realized that he was

outgunned

(position wise, that is).                                        

 

“No man” responded Myrtle. “Maybe I coulda’

axed my openin’ question better.”

 

 

“The ‘chalky’ thing?” asked Alex.

 

“Yeh” answered Myrtle. “You see, I been

watchin’ you an’ I seed you can hear

you machine a’workin’. If you

can hear den you not usin’

a chalk board. Viola,

I tink you not

a chalky.”

 

“Oh hell. I misinterpreted you” apologized Alex.

 

“You still a honkie” insisted Myrtle.

 

“Your still a spook” answered Alex defiantly.

 

“C’mon Alex” said Myrtle smiling like

a Cheshire cat. “I mean dat lovin’ly.

You hard workin’ dudes from

east Europe is Bohemian

or Bosnian.”

 

An’ you is hunks, which we can

discuss privately, so we call you

Bohunks. Dat soun’ like

Oreo talk so’s I just

call you Honkies.”

 

“Thanks for clearing that up but it doesn’t help much”

answered Alex; apparently

somewhat still miffed.

 

“Best I can do” explained Myrtle.

Episode 30: Part 3 of “Black Myrtle’s Glory“

Myrtle

Alex continued working on the die he was making.

It was the top half of a forging die destined to

stamp out a one inch combination wrench.

The plane’s chips continued creating

missiles of hot blue smoking snakes.

 

Another voice rose behind Alex.

He knew it wasn’t Pfeffer.

He also knew it wasn’t

any of the workmen

in the forge.

 

As he turned around a large black man

towered over him. Alex was perplexed

by the man’s look. The black man’s

eyebrows appeared furrowed

in anger; however,  he had

a large white-toothed grin

on his face.

 

“Hi” said Alex (quite quickly).

 

The man stood in silence for an

uncomfortably long time.

“Hi you-self” he finally

retorted at Alex.

 

“What’s going on?” asked Alex.

 

“Nothin’ goin’ on. I already have eveething on”

answered the black man while using his hands

to make it obvious that he was

speaking of his clothing.

 

“I mean – – – What’s happening?”

said Alex in his

most patient

voice.

 

“Nothin’ happinin’ man”

responded the black man.

 

“Can I help you with something?”

asked Alex less patiently.

 

“You not a chalky – – – is you?”

queried the black man.

 

“Hey!” exclaimed Alex before he thought

about how big the man

facing him was.

 

Alex tacked on a follow-up with a more pleasant tone.

“You probably wouldn’t be too pleased if I asked

if you were an Oreo – – – – would you?”

 

 

The black man asked two questions in a row.

“Man. I look like an Oreo?”

“I talk like an Oreo?”

 

“Well – – – – no” answered Alex somewhat taken aback.

“But why did you call me a chalky?”

 

“I didn’ call you a chalky. I said you was’n a chalky”

stated the black man as a fact.

 

Alex stopped talking and tracked his memory back to

the start of the conversation. He realized that

the black man was correct.

“You not a chalky”

is what the

black man

had stated.

 

“You are correct. You did not call me a chalky

and I did not call you an Oreo”

said Alex as he attempted

to put himself back

on level ground.

 

“You look more like a honkie” answered the black man

(with a big wide grin).

All you could see clearly in the smoky atmosphere

was that big grin. It was not threatening

and it was not mean spirited.

It was simply the grin of

a man pleased with

his existence.
