Re: Measurable objectives?

["elizabeth j allen" <eja -at- samurai -dot- com>]

Andrew Plato, why have you deserted me?

<ahem> That's crap. You most certainly can set specific, measurable,
objectives in the absence of specific concrete processes.

The first one that comes to mind "Develop processes for tech pubs: deliver
a written process document for technical publications by April 1, 2007."

That's not even going into personal development objectives ("Take a course
on LaTeX by September 2007").

Harumph.
