    1. The primary reason for the disputes and frustration stem from changes in business needs from the initial mission of the CS group at the time of the conversion from leasing off-site mainframe time to doing all computing in-house. That mission was to provide a network and platform that was “as reliable as a public utility.” In order for the CS group to maintain such a reliable system, they were in charge of purchasing and supporting all hardware and software and ensuring compatibility within the network. However, as computing needs changed, researchers demanded new and different hardware and software to allow them to better do their jobs. CS had a general reluctance to approve such purchases for specific projects. Because CS was responsible for supporting the purchases and if they did not have an application to a broad level of the firm, they were not likely to approve the request, as they already had to support over 100 software programs. The CS team is frustrated in that the researchers couldn’t seem to understand that if a new program or computing system was purchased, they were responsible for supporting the purchase and they simply couldn’t be experts in all things.…

All too soon, it was over. After I got off of the thrill ride, I found my haggard look with disheveled hair through a snapshot picture. This is simply too awful to contemplate.…

    One fine evening, while walking to my friend’s place enjoying the beautiful climate & cool breeze, making one to be there walking or standing still to enjoy it, I saw a group of kids riding their bicycles like a gang & roaming. A huge van came in the opposite direction, which meant they had to make space, which they have been occupying so far, for the monster vehicle. Due to sudden change of course or rough terrain, one of the kids lost his balance & fell to the safe side of the road. I thought, “The kid must be new to riding bicycles & hence couldn’t manage his balance when faced with a sudden change”.…
