The quantum state of things lost

[Len Coleman]

Speaking of Bell Labs, there was a story going around within the Bell System (back in the '60s) about new hires.  When they were hired, each was given a small leather sack of marbles along with their tools.  They had to carry that small sack with them on their tool belt everywhere they went while on the clock.  Once in a while one of the marbles would fall out or the sack might develop a worn place through which one or two might escape.  Eventually all of the marbles would be gone, and when that happened, they would be promoted to first line management. 

LOL,  that logic exists today within T, but is now used to determine VP's

For those outside Australia, the reference to the former NSW state premier who resigned last week, relates to evidence he gave last week to a Royal Commission on Corruption. He says he 'forgot' receiving the wiine.

Have you noticed how things are found in the last place you look for them.......

What you need to do is keep your stuff keen by looking for it in a couple of other places even after you have found it...
