Lyntek:

We've just costed those pipes and they look a little better. Send it off to PEN.

Gus:

That quote's an improvement on the previous one, but we want the best possible outcome. Send it back!

Gus to himself:

Is this news the type of news which calls for an ASX announcement? What if I need to send these costings back? What if an issue of similar unimportant weight were to hit my desk? Would I be seen as an apologist and a reactionary? Should I be saving my pronouncements for far weightier issues?

Lyntek:

The piping company we usually deal with is refusing to budge on price. We need to find cheaper solutions elsewhere. Fire off an email to PEN.

Gus:

Darn! Not what we need right now.

Gus to himself:

Is this news of sufficient substance to contact ASX or BRR? An earth-shattering revelation or much ado about nothing? Would I be taken seriously? Will my reputation suffer? Would it suffer even more if I were painted as a man weighed down by expectation, complicit in inanities, guilty of reactionist tendencies?

Strata:

Gus, we are getting closer to receiving our much anticipated permit. Including it in our DFS would wow the market no end.

Gus:

That's great!

Gus to himself:

Is this news worthy of an ASX announcement? The permit could still hit one or two short term hurdles? I've been wrong before. If I get this wrong, what would the market think? Speaking of which, what would the distinguished folk at NuCore think? What about John Borshoff over at Paladin? What would he do?

Paralysis by analysis: is this what we expect of our CEO?
