A planned two hour meeting today stretched itself out an additional 30 minutes. Normally this would have been an unbearably painful experience. However, during the extended confab, lunch was served, laughter was shared, logic prevailed, and do I believe everyone came away reasonably happy. The operative word of the day migrated from decisive to lurching compromise and then finally inched towards hard won committal. Extra points were awarded for the no-nonsense statement found on the meeting room white board, “Silence is Alignment”. In other words, if you didn’t agree with something, you’d better damn well speak up. Orwellian overtones aside, it reminded me paraphrasically of a line from that classic Jimmy Webb ditty made famous by the rhinestone cowboy himself… I’m in Alignment For The County. Whether I was aligned or not, it kept me humming the rest of the afternoon.
