Good, Bad, and Indifferent: QPR for 2Q Writing
If one is to take shots at others, make predictions, offer opinions, and generally pontificate it is only fair to get out a mirror on some of that writing
In many fields, one of the more dreaded things to do is quarterly reports and stats, or if you are in the land of the damned that is middle management, quarterly performance reports of people. But they are useful. Opining on the interwebs has no such things, however, but if one is to take shots at others, make predictions, offer opinions, and generally pontificate it is only fair to get out a mirror on some of that writing and see how it looks with a bit of time and events having passed. So without further ado, here is the second quarter QPR for all the words I’ve sent out into the wider world.
