JFC work is trying to kill me.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

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....

tommyrot, it didn't occur to me until I got back to my house that we didn't get a picture with you! Boo.
