It is an interesting thing, like the so-called "Butterfly Effect", how disorganization (chaos) in one part of a life can echo across and spread, eventually affecting not only the disorganized, but lives around them as well. My company is going to a convention this weekend in another city. Those of us attending the convention are really in the dark about the details. Which is really nothing new in our organization, but it causes all sorts of trouble for us in the domestic sphere. Spouses, lovers, are confronted with a baffling amount of ignorance on our parts when pressed for details about where we are going and for how long, etc. I learned today that I am not the only one who has had some trouble trying to explain that I don't know what's going on exactly, and there's no one to really tell me, anyway. Which doubles the frustration.

 

In a broader sense, it is truly endemic of our company, this lack of organization and clear planning. Hell, we were working things out with publications yesterday that were supposedly decided on a month ago. Our leader is savvy in some ways but not so in others. I think we could probably benefit from two heads. But what do I know? A lowly internal accounts manager. I don't have any say as far as restructuring is concerned. Power tends to find a focus, in one way or the other. But some part of me wonders how long we can exist as a company with such a system (or lack therof) in place (or not).
