Webb and I were talking about some options with Tribal's first delivery unit. As with any set of options, each one had it's pros and cons. A couple of the options represented several miserable months while we got our systems, schedule, and staff put into place.
These were still considered viable options and he hit the nail on the head when he said, "It doesn't suck any more than walking into a cushy job and losing a little piece of your soul each day . . . it's just different."
Thus was born the Tribal Pizza Unified Theory of Suckitude, which states: "Sometimes you control the magnitude of the suckiness, sometimes you control the direction, you may even be able to exchange control of one for the other. Good luck trying to control both."
The next time you find yourself in a difficult situation, ask yourself: "Am I here because I chose the magnitude or the direction?" If you chose the direction, then it's your own fault that it sucks so much. If you chose the magnitude, then it's your fault for being there in the first place. And what if you chose neither? Then it's your fault for treating difficulty as point with neither direction nor magnitude in an attempt to violate the laws of nature.
