the fired is a good fren of marathon man, friendly, helpful and very easily approachable. he was surprised to from his former subordinates that, he was the opposite from what marathon man thot that he was. but then, human interaction based on a lot of factors, when one party is good to a certain other party A doesn't mean the first party will be good to party B, or C...... understand? and similarly when a person is good to another person today, it doesn't mean, he will be good to him tomorrow. again similarly, when a person says he like something now, doesn't mean he will like that same thing later on.... human nature is very freaky.
norr was a quick thinker and doer, not only literally but politically; meaning he flips his position within a second, from the opponents of a certain idea to the proponent of that same idea. he was dead against looking at problem thru analysis of a lot of data.... he said in front of the bosses, he said it to the people around him, but when his boss assigned him the task of organizing the quarter technical review with the vendors, he had no choice but did his head into it. and once he got the hang of it, he just wanted more data to be presented, giving the same excuses that he formerly boo-booed as bs.
the first meeting finished. there were tons of data presented. he participated in the discussion actively... asking question based on the data presented, giving suggestions and idea based on the data he has....
then when they were heading for dinner in charlie palmer in costa mesa, he asked marathon man, "how useful are these meeting?" obviously hinting that meeting like this is just a sham.
marathon man said, "well, it depends whether out of this meeting, action items would be implemented. it would be more like effective if the big bosses were in, but today, all are small fries...."
"hahah.... the problem whether we spend 90% of the time in collecting data, and 10% in analysing them. it's a huge waste of time, and effort."
"well.... why then you did not tell your boss to shaft it?"
"why? because he's my boss."
they reached the restaurant and found that most of the attendees were there. they ordered wines, and cocktails.... they had a good dinner.... every one was sucking up to the new boss.
- that was hell of a show produced under the name - circumstances.
