Not all Change is Necessary

I'm trying to convince myself of that. We got a new ED here at YFC and it seems like every week he's changing one or two things. Its frankly driving me up the wall. I can understand some change and it is good. But my newletter at the moment looks like we accidently printed it on letterhead. In the middle of our 'being professional' it has come out like a mistake.

So these are the changes he's made (and yes, its mostly him and not a joint/board decision):

• new cell phones
• Logos must go out on ALL documents
• there's an offical 'line up' of who answers the phone
• blah
• blah
• blah...

Really people, is all change necessary? I know its not all bad. I think society changes sometimes because there hasn't been a change in a while. Like that whole i-phone thing. Really, we already have computers, hand held palms, laptops and cell phones that get the internet and email. Everyone who wants an i-pod has one or is getting one. Why do we really need to have an i-phone when we already can do what it does? Good gravy! If we get it, while having say, a laptop, palm, and cell phone with internet capabilities (and sometimes even a desk top) and lets just say that together these gadgets cost $3000 - give or take - now we're spending $500 or $600 on one thing that will eliminate the need of those $3000 gadgets. Which means, these $3000 worth of gadgets that are prly no more than 18 months old have just gone to waste because resale on those, exists but probably similar to buying a car. hum...lets think of practicality people. We screen our calls, postphone returning emails, and play games on our cell phones, i-pods, hand helds, and laptops so really, we're prly just wasting all of that money.

Note to self...be careful what you buy, money comes and goes until retirement...then it just goes. Spend wisely.
