Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In regard to the NRA information, I know an association (a not-for-profit, as opposed to a charity) I used to work for did something similar. The head person wanted to cut back and so a new person was hired for that position, but the outgoing one was kept on as a consultant. It is, as you might imagine, something that opens the door for a lot of, um, shenanigans. That new head person, after several years, decided he wanted to move on. Which was fine, except he hand-picked a successor with a deal worked out that the outgoing person would have a contract as a "consultant" at a high retainer. (This, luckily, came to naught, since right before the chosen successor was to be rubber-stamped by the board of directors, news broke that he had engaged in his own shenanigans at a previous place ... and so someone else got the job.)

It's hard for me to conceive of Oliver North as a good guy.

Not "good" I'd say, just less horrible.

Toddson, I know. It's hard to believe that Ollie was right about pretty much anything.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My employer is looking for people already within the org to become Technical Producers for live streaming content. I'm trying to assess if I can learn enough fast enough to do this.

My employer announced they are doing a talent competition. Luckily, I have no talent.

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

That's an exciting prospect, aurelia

What about couch-flipping, Gud?

Our wings are not tired.

You can do it, aurelia!

You can manage the gong.

By popular demand, I stopped singing in public several years ago (except when I'm one of a group - remember those days? - and no one can hear me).
