[ale] running OPA (other people's apps) on my network

[Jeff Lightner]

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease - other times it's replaced
by something less squeaky.

I was once the "guest of honor" at an Executive Committee meeting
because I'd told one of the execs to put an order in writing since it
contravened our written policy.   

You never know how its going to turn out - in a later conversation with
the GM I said I expected an executive would win out in that kind of
challenge and he said "Not necessarily" - the exec that had forced the
meeting was gone within a month.

Back when I did things in the medical world, I'd write up a simple 
reccomendation to not do _____, with a personal liability waiver if 
directed to do _____ against my reccomendations. I'd also state that,
if liability was waived and I was directed to continue, I would try my 
utmost to make _____ as successful as it could be.

I didn't do it often, (4 or 5 times in 8 years) and they only signed
it once and told me to make it happen or else.

Side note: This used to be an S.O.P. for surgical nurses.
