Are we drinking the Koolaide?

Are we followers of Jimmy Jones, knowingly drinking our own Koolaide? While working on a project earlier this morning I asked myself this question. Have we started buying what we've been selling all along? I've noticed in recent days I've quit doubting any of my objectives and just started powering towards the light at the end of the tunnel (maybe that's a good thing?). Whether or not we meet those objectives we'll see, but at least I'm not worried about it anymore--bring on the sleep deprivation and endless sermons!

In any work-related project, I think we need to stop and honestly ask ourselves if we're cutting in the Koolaide line. Are we cannibalizing our own sale? I think we might be... But, I suppose if the objectives are never really met, we'll have long since drank the sugary concoction and inevitably slipped into a mindless state before anyone shows up to complain.

Now all we need is our own small village in Africa. We'll call it jungle 206.
