If anyone has ever wondered just how far the Geek goes with yours truly, the following took place during a conversation with my boss earlier this morning about people creating work-arounds and circumventing policy:
Me: Why do we have rules when there are no consequences for not following them?
Boss: You have to remember that a good business manager remembers that between the black and the white are many shades of grey.
...And suddenly, there I am thinking of myself as Gandalf the Grey, wondering (and not for the first time, either) if my co-workers are my Balrog. Our conversation moved on to other topics, but by then I was distracted by the possibility of tracking down some Darkside cookies in time for Elevensies.
