Did you know…
We’ll be switching over to Office 365 in the next couple of weeks.
Sorry about the delay, but this time we’ll get it done.
We’re excited about the new features and think you’ll like them too.

Now you know.

Justifying mediocre work
The list of reasons is nearly endless. They allow us to explain the shortcuts, phone-ins and half-work that we’re surrounded by.
All of them are pretty good reasons too. We’re in a hurry, the system is unfair, the market demands it, no one will notice, it’s not my job, I was handed a lousy spec, the materials are second-rate, the market won’t pay for quality, competition is cutthroat, my boss is a jerk, it’s actually pretty good, no one appreciates the good stuff anyway…
On the other hand, there’s only one way to justify work that’s better than it needs to be: Because you cared enough.
