So, if by some wild happenstance some one (1) of you read this - please be patient.
Just to set some background...
I am a Deputy Executive in the Chief Executive Office for a mid-sized California County - which is to say, a governmental entity that in many states would equal a majority share of that state's population. That doesn't really mean anything - just stating that the machine that I speak to is of a larger variety and rife with its own battles with culture, morays and idiosyncrasies...:)
I work primarily on Economic Development projects.
Mine is a very project driven assignment (which is a good thing because I have a very low threshold for bordom)
I live in a world of land use policy, business and industrial park developments, community technology strategies and outreach, facilities fees and incentive programs and even regional tourism initiatives.
I have (for too many years) been very fascinated with all things organizational theory - how things tick (and tock) in a large bureaucratic structure.
I will speak to my direct and indirect experiences periodically - and I do mean periodically.
I am passionate about my work, my family and my many artistic special interests so I will post irregularly - when the mood and the content provide themselves.
This is NOT a transparent attempt to seek business, market a new blanket with arms in it, or sell anyone or anything. Just my own (hell, its free) cyber-space venting ground.
If you find my ramblings of any interest - or not, I would love to hear from you and to gain your perspective on all topics of life within the machine.
Best to you all.....here goes,
