A sop’s fable: I have always been much more like the grasshopper than the ant in Aesop’s fable. Now that my personal winter is here and I’m shivering and hungry, I still don’t want to be like the (corporate) ant. So I’ve become the busy bee in my business, buzzing between ideas and implementations, bumbling sometimes, but collecting nectar wherever I find it. It’s a sweet life, and I don’t have to suck pre-processed sticky stuff off some aphid’s butt.
