I posted up a <a href="http://www.davideisert.com/over-the-top-or-down-the-back/" rel="nofollow">follow-up</a> that addresses that very point. While delegation is most certainly necessary at times, I would challenge that delegation not be abused. Funny that you bring up that point. I posted up a follow-up that addresses that very point.

What if our dogs eat the roll? In these cases should I delegate roll replacement? What about those of us who just throw the roll on all willy nilly or sometimes just put it on the side of the tub?

It seems like not only will few people change the roll, they will start panicking about the roll being out. Even if there is a new roll within arm's reach, metaphorically speaking.

I am starting to get the impression if you work in technology long enough, you'll see old ideas reborn with new wording at least twice. We're pondering the installation of some Virtual Desktoping at SBU, as soon as this summer. Sure, cost savings are in the mix, and I can understand how this seems like a step back on the innovation of having all the computing power in a box within arm's reach. But I think, if done right (and presuming this able to deliver on the promises being made), Virtual Desktoping makes it easier for faculty, staff and students to have access to the software they need. A teacher can get things setup for class in their office, leave for their classroom, and log right into the "desktop" they just left behind in their office. No more slight differences to throw them off, no more Deep Frozen computers they cannot change or need to be updated with physical visits by computing staff. Students, with just enough computer power and Internet connectivity, can access their "desktop" to have access to the software they need to Get Things Done, no matter where or when they are. No more waiting for a lab seat, or being cut off when away for the weekend. A good benefit for faculty and staff, too. All that to say, I hope saving money and innovation do not have to be fully/mutually exclusive.

You're doing the right thing. Focus on the you, and the ethics, and everything else will be taken care of. Two road diverged in a yellow wood,
