NO i see it! People are doing their work to do their work... But I don't see how these guys think that they are going to get their work force to innovate at no cost? The human condition prevents us from doing this? Or are people that.....open? What is to prevent the company from saying thank you for the good idea and then showing you the door? I still see no reason why someone should be innovative if there is no money to reward innovation.

Well baby bush's wars didn't help matters. Nor did his helping the top 1%. That said yeah it's a very fucked up position.

Yes it is but unemployment is very high. And the job market for even engineering types is very tight at the moment. People are staying put due to uncertainty. And now you have a bunch of higher management types who think they can get their workforce to be innovative without any form of reward? I just don’t see it. But that’s just me. We work to get paid. We are a capitalist society. high Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Hey what can i say there is a fine line between lust and hate...and she hates that she lusts after me! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

she's a girl at a DZ....why would she need one of those? Other than every girl should have two. I mean there are dozens and dozens of them walking around! Just point at a guy who looks good and say. "Buy me dinner and drinks and have sex and never call me again!" bingo bango! Dinner and a drill!

What the hell is a classified patent? (other than an oxymoron) I work for the DoD so some of the patents are not for everyone to see. Yes. Well yes that's how one should go about it. However these “experts” of innovation and creativity are starting point blank to upper management types that they can get a good level if not even an increased level of performance without ANY financial compensation. Now please note that in the past 5 or so years the average white collar employee has increased his or her output by well over 30% thanks to technology such as black berries. Also with technology a good number of the ancillary components to an office such as secretaries and entry level work has gone away as well. After all why have an admin when I can keep track of my own time and submit it via my computer? Now I’m not being critical of shareholders and their expectations but….I think I have a very good idea of the human condition. And I just can’t see people being so altruistic that innovative and creative people are willing and ready and able to innovate and create and simply give it away to a profit making entity and not see any compensation?

See there's your problem...athletic girls like to wear sweat pants. Yoga pants yes....oh yes! PLEASE YES! Let's to yoga together! Those horrid ballon pants.....NO! I'm sorry...if a girl is rocking ugly sweat pants I'm going to be wearing boxers around the house!

Rub a lamp, Aladdin. Women like that don't need a man for anything. They tend to stay single and enjoy their lives. And therein lies the true conundrum of the sexes. My x wife did not have a university education nor had what we would deem a high end job. She was a high school graduate who had worked in the service industry all of her life. Yes she made ok money but there was still the stress of me paying for her education and what not. After things went south and I formulated my “requirements list” after Size of greater than 2 but under 8 reads “Educated, minimum of 4 years” Now I know an education is not going to guarantee a high paying job or even a stable one. However it’s a start. And I’ve often noticed that the marriages of equals seems to work better than the marriages of unequal’s. So who knows? Maybe I’ll get lucky and bump into a nice athletic, well educated, well dressed girl who isn’t allergic to cats , doesn’t wish to have children and loves to travel. I don’t know where I may find her, but odds are very good that I will not find her in an engineering office.

Compensation for innovation? I have been attending various lectures and discussion groups since I obtained my EMBA this past January so that I may stay current with modern business practices. One of the biggest issues on the forefront of helping pull the US and global economy out of its doldrums are innovation and creativity. However I have noticed, that many of these “gurus” are stating that that a corporation / institution can obtain the same level of innovation and without any monetary compensation. And I see upper management and upper middle management types eating this up. For as they see it they can have their cake and eat it to. They can have an innovative and creative workforce without the need to tax shareholders. However I am a capitalist. I work for money not for enjoyment. I work to live not live to work. I also have two public patents and a few classified patents as well as various awards for cost cutting innovation. I would have done NONE OF THIS if it weren’t for that carrot of financial compensation. But that’s just me. And I’m not sure I represent the average worker bee. What are your thoughts on the issue?

The one who pays for her own damn clothes and shoes! Ah may the skygod bless me with such an amazing woman who not only dresses to impress but has the education and the means by which she may procure said swanky clothes on her own dime! And if she can maybe make dinner once a week I shall truly be a happy man. Can I get an Amen?

WELL not like that! More like abject begging and just giving her all kinds of money and giving hints!

I as THE PERSIAN GOD! Have given many advice! Some of them when are even lucid! What advice was that? The one about you walking over and talking to that nice guy? HEY YOU NICE GUY! When she comes over and talks to you…you better be nice you know man! Oh and look East and thank me! Unless you are south of the equator in which case you should look West!

Mods no issues, it's cool not hurt it means i'm sexy! But really? Girl, OP, you are in a great place! Not only do you have a hobby that gets to meet amazing people who do amazing things and you get to be outside and all that great stuff...... Well i mean...you are swimming in a sea of eligible men! Relax take a deep breath ok we all make mistakes such is life. To fail is to be human. And that’s fine! Just come to terms with who and what you are. If you are a tool chase than ok so be it but if you are not than make a change. Smile walk over to that cute guy you like and who has held your hand when you were scared or just had a bad day and ask him if he would like to join you for lunch? He may not be Mr. Right but hell odds are he will be a good friend! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Dan very well put very well put. I just spent a week of lectures on the middle east and the numbers are truly amazing! The poverty level is staggering, the illiteracy levels are even more astounding and though many of these nations are rich with resources they are suffering from amazing stagflation! And this kind of “release” is seen by the leaders of the country as a good way to release tensions. Since it has been their MO to lay blame on the feet of all others rather than taking the blame on themselves. Furthermore, the amazing part in all this is Iran. Iran actually has the highest literacy rate in the middle east! And yet it’s all quiet in Tehran. Which before you say anything…is very scary for them. They need this outrage to justify their position of power but if there is no outrage at the west then there will be outrage directs to within. I have no clue what the president will say or not say. I hope he will condemn violence, remind people of the power of the US by mentioning the death of Osama and give Iran a stern warning regarding nuclear weapons. For its part I expect Iran’s president to babble on and on and on about the tyranny of the US to appease the internal strife within the Iranian power machine.

Common mistake. I’m Persian we love wearing nice clothes and bright clothing. And we tend to smell really good! And don’t get me start about our emotional stability… But hold on a sec…I’m on my second shot of espresso this morning and foaming at the mouth. You are a chick? You are a skydiver? As in you hang around a DZ? How hard is it for a straight woman to find a decent guy at the DZ? Just sit there pick two guys have them fight to the death and the winner takes you out? I’m sorry…but shit if I were in a place where it was two dicks and 52 chicks….such as when I was in my undergraduate psychology class….all I did was smile at two girls watched them get into an argument over something silly and I had a date that night where I had a 50/50 chance of getting laid and being told I was A GREAT MAN! So…..what’s the hang up? You dated a fucktard? Yeah well it happens? Be glad you didn’t get knocked up or have his name tattooed on your ass. Now is the time to sit your ass down and ask yourself a very important question which you may not like the answer to. Are you tool food? Do you enjoy being treated like garbage? If the answer is yes then be at peace with it and know what you are going to get. If not then make a change do something silly like…oh I don’t know…grow a set of ovaries and instead of flirting to get a free pack job….insert dirty joke her….go over and talk to that nice guy. Man ladies. I know I’m a Persian GOD but do I have to teach you everything? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Issues! HA! You should see the back of my head! It's like brail porn from all the times she slapped me upside the head...and the woman rocks rings on all her fingers! And when i turned 13 she started using wooden spoons because she said my head had gotten too hard and it was hurting her hand. And we, the three boys, had three rules growing up 1) NO FAT CHICKS AKA Chalupas…AKA sloppy engineering girls! 2) NO MOMS! As in no single moms! 3) NO PERSIAN GIRLS! Those girls are dangerous! But above all we were taught to have self respect! To have a back bone and to never ever be pussy whipped little shits! Look how can I put it? Im Prometheus and it’s ok if you hate me ladies! You are in a position of power and privilege due to unusual circumstances if you are in an engineering office. And I’m going to guess for every engineering chalupa in your office there are 50 or so dicks. So simple supply and demand have puffed up your ego to the size of a capital class vessel And then I come in…..I point out the obvious, I bring in the light, I bring in reality. And let me tell you it’s basic human nature to back down when we hit a point of contention but chalupas are on such a roll they have no clue what the fuck hit them when they bump into me. You see your average chalupa lacks an inside voice and is so use to walking all over these spineless gutless pussy whipped little shits in the engineering offices she thinks she is gods gift to man. And then they bump into me….oh the look on their faces when they meet a guy like me….a guy with back bone…a guy who stands up and says….NO…do you know how scary that word “NO” is to chalupas? NO! No is POWER! No is self respect! NO is a stand! NO means YO YOU TANK ASS CHALUPA! JUST BECAUSE THESE PATHETIC LITTLE GUTLESS STINKY SPINELESS ENGIENERS WILL CHASE YOUR GARGANTUAN ASS AROUND LIKE YOU WERE MOTHER DUCK DON’T EXPECT ME TO DO THE SAME! I bring the light! I bring the truth I BRING IN REALITY! The reality that outside of those doors outside of those gates lies the vastness of reality! A reality where you’re average chalupa can’t get a fucking drink if she paid for it! That her drama queen attitude will get her pushed down to the end of the bar! That in reality she is just a TOKEN fatty friend to all the cute skinny girls! That her “capital” of looks……is guilded! I AM THE SHAH I BRING THE LIGHT I BRING LEVETY! So the next time you see the only other girl at the DZ giving the packers drama so that they may pack her parachute free of charge, ask yourself WHAT WOULD SHAH DO! And the next time you see a chalupa walking all over the stinky engineering masses like she were stomping grapes, ask yourself WHAT WOULD SHAH DO! Shah would bring in the light! And you should do the same! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I would like to introduce you to someone handsome, educated, amazing and down right sexy and who knows how to make French Toast in the mornings. That would be me.

I am the coolest engineer ever! Let me put it to you this way....when i was married...if my mom ever saw my x wife rocking wally world clothing I would get hell for it! No joke! We are talking hours of me on the phone being lectured about how I should treat my partner better and to never let her shop at a low end store and that i should take her shopping at a nice store and then take her to the salon. No joke! ON my beloved grandmothers grave! It's just the society i come from. I can look like crap and rocking 5 year old socks but how dare i ever not let my partner not look good! Let alone not encourage her to look great! Yeah....it's crazy! Isn't it? And to think this is where Iran is right now! People who want to dress to impress being forced to rock a mobile tent because a the mullahs want every one to be judged on what they know rather than how they look. Truly messed up! Good for the chalupa engineering chicks but so not good for all those very attractive business majors.

I don't know...I would beg the future Ms. Shah to please not shop at wally world. I really can't tell her what not to do but i can beg and make it difficult....right? I mean what woman is going to pick wally world over say express? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
