Why do crackers come in those sleeves. You can't close them. If you leave them open, you have stale crackers.

Why does some bread come in cellophane? When you open it, there's nothing to put the bread back into (must be in cahoots with the ZipLoc bag people).

Why do some of those seal things on bottles and jars not have the little tab thing so you can pull it off.

My biggest one is who the hell invented those blister packs for medication. Put the pills in a damn jar.

Why do english muffins come in that silly little box? Just put them in a bag, so the package isn't so big once you eat half the muffins.

Wouldn't it be cool if all jars that were the same size were standard and had interchangeable lids. Then when you save the jars, you wouldn't have to look for the lid that fits.

I wish they would stop putting cheese in those supposedly re-sealable zipper thingy bags. I've never gotten one of them to work.

Why don't they put ice cream in plastic tubs instead of flimsy cardboard.

Who puts all those little pins in men's dress shirts? What purpose does that serve? I always get a pin prick in one of my fingers and get blood on the damn shirt. Who does that anyway? Are there a bunch of people sitting in the factories putting the pins in?

Why do hot dogs come in packages of 10 and buns come in packages of 8? You think the two manufacturers could possibly get together and coordinate this for us.

That said, I've worked in organizations that had no project manager. The development team lead took care of that. I've worked in organizations that had all three job titles, one, and even those with no product manager. I've worked with a product manager that got trapped into the product owner role, which is more along the lines of what these program managers want, but too many balls dropped.

The program managers should advocate the idea that their company's product manager organizations need product owners. This whether these organizations run Agile shops or not. Otherwise, the reactive efforts will swamp the proactive efforts, and much will be lost.

I use the CFLs in 7 out the 8 recessed lights in my family room, keeping the one over the desk as a halogen for the brightness and instant on.

I also use them in shaded lamps like some others who commented, and I use small versions over the stove and similar places. I have probably replaced 80% of my bulbs now but the others will remain incandescents or others due to the limitations of even the newer, better CFLs.

I'm not thrilled with them everywhere but they do save money and energy.
