The six Ps

When I was a teenager, I had a job working in a cherry orchard. I worked for a man who was a retired Army Colonel. He had seen action in WWII and Korea. He was a positive influence on every boy who worked for him, he taught me many lessons that have helped me through the years. One of the things A.J. used to preach was "The Six Ps" Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Over the last 10 days, I've thought about the Six P's quite a bit. I have spent over 100 hours at work reacting to a situation I've been expecting for over a year. I even had a phone converstation about it yesterday while I was standing in this spot. The situation is still not completely resolved but during the holiday weekend I have a couple days to catch my breath. On Tuesday I'll be back in the crowd that's assholes and elbows around that train wreck.
