Migratory Birds

Another posting occasioned by the rhythms of life.

Geese always remind me of that poster you often find in corporate life. It's one of that series of motivational arse-wipe posters, which is supposed to throw open the windows onto a newer, brighter, business vista, but manages instead to remind you of the soul-sucking pointlessness of your working life.

If I remember rightly its message is that you can achieve more through teamwork, (though my guess is that the geese fly like that to avoid flying into the pooh of the ones in front). Its appearance on any wall near you should be taken as an indication of impending redundancy.

Anyway, walking for the paper this morning, four skein of geese flew over, around forty birds in each one, in formation, honking away, in what I like to think of as celebration for a flight well made. Which is far more uplifting than an HR fuckwit with a bunch of posters and some blu-tack.
