Road less well traveled

We may have crowded roads, spaghetti junction and other road hazards, but I don’t’ recall an incident like the one in northern Indiana.

A few weeks ago in Crown Point, Indiana, State road 55 was temporarily closed down because a truckload of human feces spilled onto the roadway.

The driver said he was hauling treated human feces from a water recycling plant in Portage when the load spilled about 10:30 a.m. that morning

The Lake County hazardous materials response team came to clean up the mess, along with the Crown Point Fire Department and Indiana State Police.

Both the northbound and southbound lanes of the highway were closed for hours causing huge delays and problems during the cleanup and the Indiana Department of Transportation cited the driver for an unsecured load.

I am not sure exactly how to secure a load of feces but I guess that is for someone else to determine.

The feces continues in the IS department as well. The "baffle 'em with BS" MO continues from the network manager, who repeatedly is unable see assigned duties to the completion and move projects forward. The new director is snowed by the barrage of baloney.

How to proceed??? Hmmmm....despite input from other educated and licensed team members the Dir. continues to believe the veracity of hooey by network leadership.

Resolution? Have an assessment of the network by an outside organization, who might be able to identify lingering issues with current initiatives.

For the future? Hire an IT director with A TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
