Poor Dave. Room full of big bobbing egos and not a thumpin’ stick to be had. The Cat’s dead, the Whale’s beached, EMed is now just baksheesh for the Egyptians, Rosetta is a really just a millstone in any language, unconventional is just un, morale sucks, and the good folks are gone or gettin’ gone.
As with any crash there are a lot of factors at play but usually one defining point source – most of us have that one figured out. Hint: Dave, after some serious navel pondering maybe you ought to consider having one last breakthrough and throw some of the upper deck chairs of the boat (for a change!). How many years and dry holes since the last discovery? As the Ryan Bingham song ‘The Weary Kind’ goes: ‘You rolled (all) them sevens with nothing to lose’….’cept the reputation of NBL as a successful company and great place to work.
