cold comfort

so while i was in north carolina last week, the division went through a mandated planning exercise on how to deal with shrinking budgets and shrinking staff --- they did not address the fundamental problems of incompetent management and republican obstructionists in congress --- however, a brain-storming session on "wildly important goals" for the division did produce this sheet from a flip-chart ---

too bad for them i guess ---

it would not have taken all that much for them to have kept me there til i died in my cubicle, but i am happy that their inaction finally overcame the inertia keeping me from doing something else --- it's time

 i'm looking forward to a week or so in the desert come october
