Another day, another $

Three days ago gloom, today everything's coming up roses. So goes the world of professional services. (If we're one of the world's newest professions, why do we sound like we're the oldest?) The company has won a big pitch that should keep our stock high for the next six months. I know I've been slagging off the sales team, so is now the time to recant?
No.
Not one member of our sales team was involved in the pitch. Tossers.
Of course this only goes to mask some deeper problems: some people in operations have no work for the next two months and all our historic data is inconsistent and unreliable. I think this may be deliberate, as certain people in the company look more efficient as a consequence. That's going to change if I stay.
But today is my birthday. The Sugar Cubes are smoking cigars. And it's time for another — more successful — exit strategy.
