I'll have to remember that one. I don't have to do timesheets but thats a good phrase to have in my back pocket.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Ugh, we have very limited options of things to put on our time sheets, and certain expectations of how many hours we would bill based on our assignments--and sometimes that is so off. Travel days are easy though--X hours on plane, Y hours at the site, done. It's the at home days that get complicated.
Flea, I want that house, it's super! Maybe not the New Yorker covered bathroom. But the rest of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's what I'm happy not to have to do.

JFC work is trying to kill me.

Envisioning long-term success. Big picture strategizing. Improving morale.
Optimizing potential. Facilitating empowerment. Implementing visioning. Strategizing priorities. Augmenting core structures.
I've always liked the way black-and-white checkerboard kitchen floors look, but I believe the people who tell me that they never look clean, because what doesn't show up on the white shows up on the black.
It's a beautiful house, flea. I wonder if there's a money-making opportunity in being a person who acts like a crazy neighbor or mutters about the drains to scare off other buyers.

Ginger is good at this game. I especially like optimizing potential. I think I'll mark that post for my next round of self-evals...
Thwart the homicidal work, sarameg!

Those are based on Connie Willis' Bellwether, which is a wicked skewering of corporate BS.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have these on the wall next to my desk. Love that book.

I loved Bellwether! At the time I read it, I was not so corporate so I didn't take notes. Should probably re-read...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I finally finished the post-processing, labeling and uploading of 167 photos from the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH. The Flickr set is here.
A few of my faves:
Italian Caproni Ca.3, a WWI three-engine bomber
B-36 10-engine bomber
B-29 "Bocks Car", the plane that dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki
Now I can start working on the photos I took at flea's house....
