CAREER- LIMITING POETRY
Miracle of Mt. Airy: Conversion in mid-air.
The marble turns to granite without one cent to spare.
One $million for each story is contractor's fee.
(No one said scaffolds are cheap or hangmen work for free.)
Amongst the happiest and most satisfying days in a lifetime career, Captain Mark spent more than 8 years (1980 - early 90s) at Standard Oil Company of Indiana, in Chicago, Tulsa, and Denver offices consulting in finance econometrics, statistical analysis, project management and systems design for clients:
AMOCO Marine Transport - Transport Economics
AMOCO Ocean Minerals and C.I.A. (classified)
AMOCO Minerals - Geophysical Exploration Models
AMOCO Chemicals - Budgeting and Economics
AMOCO Amoco Oil Company - I.T. / Data Mgmt.
AMOCO Production Company - Risk Mgmt.
STANDARD OIL Corp. - 401 K Plan migration
Publishing the above quatrain via email across the company intranet proved to be an unwise career-limiting move.
Lesson learned:
Freedom of Speech has limits of tolerance.
Consequences:
1 Job Lost (Perdido)
THE LOST MARBLE
(Accountants and Lawyers have no sense of humor)
2 Captain Mark became a poet with Global publication rights over the internet !
