What is even happening?

Brad, I just wanted to touch base with you. Although your jargon awareness solutioneering is directionally correct, we need you to take it to the next level. Try to do more with less. If you stay agile, we know you will have that a-ha moment and just crush it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Meanwhile, tomorrow is a federal holiday, but I still have to go in to work. Only until 1(I get in around 8 am), but still...

move out and draw fire

BINGO!

(A couple years ago I was in charge of the support functions for a conference with multiple govt and military speakers, so I put Bullshit Bingo cards (renamed Bureaucracy Bingo) on the backs of all the programs to give people something to do during the speeches.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Do you still have the list of terms?

I think today was supposed to be a 6 hours day for me. That's obviously happening, but only 8 hours is kind of a treat lately, so I'll take it.

Somewhere, I will look for it. It was the usuals: leverage, synergy, center of excellence, etc. There were a few that turn out to be fairly unique to this demographic ("let's circle the wagons" misused to mean "let's get together and coordinate on that;" "the camel's nose under the tent;" "azimuth check;" and "tour d' horizon;" "close to the flagpole") but most were business drivel (KPIs, playbook, dodged a bullet).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My favorite jargon joke is renaming silos "cylinders of excellence."

Ooof. Continued good thoughts.
