I had an offsite meeting looking at a space for an event. why do people like mirrored walls?

I swear that if I ever get married, finding a reception place will be the hardest part because I find so many things tacky.

Also only 28 posts since I left? what? are people working? that sucks. for all of us.

It is possible I hate Six Sigma. Critical to Quality Tree?

I don't understand this sentence, since I don't know what Six Sigma is. I think that is probably a good thing though, right?

I like SIx Sigma in theory. I reserve the right to change my mind if I ever actually apply it to anything.

Also, still like NPV.

ANd need to eat something. Why does lunch not spontaneously appear on my desk?

Also, still like NPV.

Actuary!

Nah, 6 Sigma is a nifty idea. But right now, in the middle of requirements documentation? Evil, evil.

ignorant over here, blissfully ignorant and stuffed full of greasy goodness.

hey do people have a long weekend?

Not moi. Martin Luther King Day is one of the least-observed holidays.

I do! Yay long weekend!

I just ate a whole wheat bagel. yum.

I do! I do! I'm so excited.

Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process -- from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.

See why I weep?

hey do people have a long weekend?

I do! ANd a good thing, too, this working 5 days a week is for the birds.

Hey, still alive!

Went to the Kartchner Caverns yesterday, which have some of the damnedest formations you'll ever see, including 'soda straws" and "bacon ribbons" -- all of it magical as icicles, only a lot longer-lasting. My Wow-Meter almost burned out.

Kartchner is a high-humidity cave, so you have to enter via air-locks, and only so many people per day are allowed, to keep the atmosphere correct for the formations. The guided tour was really excellent, one of the best I've ever taken.

Then we drove on to Bisbee, another 40-50 miles down the road, which is an old mining/Wild West town turned arts colony, with a huge left-over open pit mine right around a bend. It was built in a tiny gully right next to the Copper Queen Mine, and has funky Victorian-era houses (and V-e shacks, really) climbing up the steep sides. We met mutual friends Will & Emma for coffee and a bit of a guided tour before they had to go back to work.

Then a long drive back to Tucson, across another portion of desert lit by changing sunset light, long shadows, pink Technicolor mountains and clouds. We passed through Tombstone, but all we did was gas up, which doesn't seem very touristy.

Then I got back to the house and promptly misplaced my glasses for the next twelve hours. I needed the rest anyways....
