Working hard or hardly working?
I had a discussion with someone a little while ago about work productivity. We were in agreement that it's ridiculous that people typically equate looking busy and mere physical presence as a measure of productivity.It's no secret that my personal style is such that I use a lot of informal communication in my workday. What isn't as apparent is that I manage to get much more information and accomplish objectives much more easily. I find hallway talk much more efficient than the abundance of meetings that punctuate our typical day. On top of that, my work isn't only limited to the confines of core hours, I work when I feel inspired.
Given my working style, I'm pretty impressed by the idea of a Results Only Work Environment. As long as objectives are managed properly, business doesn't suffer and workplace satisfaction goes way up. I'm rather impressed that BestBuy is trying out the ROWE as well as working with six sigma.

I just saw the most ridiculous commercial from GSK. It's for a drug called Requip that helps fight Restless Leg Syndrome. What the hell is restless leg syndrome?!? It's things like this that give Pharma a bad name. Between this and ED, I'm not surprised that people think we make up disease states. They're scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.

Congratulations to all the London Business School R1 admits out there! I can't wait to meet some of my future classmates. Every LBS blog and experience I read about makes me more and more jealous. Just have to hold out 8 more months...

Under Information I Already Have
A question this morning to Corel:Customer (Wincent Lau) - 12/06/2006 10:59 AM
I've been a longtime user of CorelDRAW Graphic Suite on PC and I really like using it. I recently purchased a Mac and would like to continue using your software.
It's probably not supported anymore, which doesn't matter to me, but I was wondering if you know where I would be able to find and purchase CorelDRAW 11 for Mac?
Thanks,
Wincent

Hi Wincent,
Thank you for
your query. We no longer sale this version of CorelDRAW 11 for Macintosh.
CorelDRAW X3 and 12 do not run on PC only, not on Mac. For further information,
we invite you to contact Corel Services at 1-800-772-6735.
Regards,
TS
Full points for promptness, none for usefulness. Anyone know where I can hunt down CorelDRAW 11? Maybe I should just wait for Photoshop CS3.
