Design Problem - Part One

Grr... I am having trouble fully defining my problem. This means I do not understand it, so the designs are flawed. I've been moving faster lately. I don't always think this is a good thing.

Moving slowly and deliberately has been my preferred mode for awhile. I'm quiet by nature. Pondering several things at once: something technical, something humorous, something lewd and something relaxing. I've become mono-thought based.

aside: I've been putting adverbs in this text. I hate adverbs. I take them out, but I view them as mental weakness.

I want to curl up and around with my problem. My problem is a friend. my problem is a companion. We can fight and argue. Frustrate each other, but we always come back. The problem because it exists and me because I do as well. But my current problem is diffuse. It has no requirements. Its a bogeyman stemming from a pile of shitty communication and passive limitation acceptance. My current problem is a organizational lack of commitment to a plan. But this makes sense as two of the four levels immediately above me are now vacant.

A series of leadership voids is creating engineering failures. The managers who are missing should not be designing anything, but they should be forcing issues be resolved. This sucks. Time to go read some Spolsky, see if I can get something useful.
