What is it about success that turns people into complete morons? Look no further than your TV: Undercover Boss shows just how ineffectual executives are. Week after week, we are treated to CEOs, seemingly smart enough to run multi-million (or billion) dollar companies, failing at the simplest of tasks and being shown up by people making $10 an hour. So far this year, we've seen executives that can't clean a plane, have trouble checking people into a hotel, and can't hold a conversation on a service call. In other words, these executives making tons of money, can't do even the simplest job in their respective companies.
Not that I can talk, as many of you know, BoDerickus is an attorney. I have realized that the longer I practice law, the harder it gets for me to do the simplest of tasks. I can navigate the most complex of contracts, but can't figure out how to fax something from the copier. I can argue a point in front of a judge, but can't figure out how to change the message on my phone. Where's my assistant when I need her?

I actually saw the Big P. carrying his monitor down the hall in order to make a copy of what was on the screen by putting it on the copy machine. He had no idea that such an operation would not work if the monitor was not plugged in.
