You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Whoa, that lovin’ feeling,
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling,
Now it’s gone…gone…gone…wooooooh.

Now there’s no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now you’re starting to criticize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
‘Cause baby, something in you is dying.

When the week is almost done, and you find yourself staring up from the abyss like El Jefe (see post 1, post 2, post 3, and numerous tweets) what is there to do besides roll over and let the sweet embrace of complacency take you down?

Well.

I could launch into a speech worthy of a summer blockbuster, but that’s not going to do it. The cliches are too many.

The system is such that it will attempt to suck the life right out of you. That’s what it does. Being the paranoid type that you are, you’re focused on those “high order” risks that the rest of the seething mass of humanity around you doesn’t seem to care about.

And at the end of the day, that’s all you’ve got.

I can’t give you a good reason to stay and accept the mediocrity of your employer and your fellow employees.

In time of revolution, with perseverance and courage, a soldier should think nothing impossible.

That line comes to us from Napoleon, and I think he’s got a point. The world is shifting – slowly, but inexorably – towards doing a better job of Information Management. With every FAIL on the part of those entrusted with information, the average joesephine is becoming more aware of the value of her information and less willing to entrust it to the incompetents and fools that are the basis of the remediation work of your life.

Hang in there, change is in the air. Ass will be kicked. And hey, it’s Friday!
