Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We are getting gourmet hot dogs from the fabulous Vicious Dogs today. Pineapple Louisiana Hot Link for me. Sounds like it would be bad but it is DELICIOUS.

Why can't a vision statement simply be "Continue to do our jobs to the best of our ability, help our customers, and make a profit doing it"?

Of course, I nearly failed Business Writing because formulating double-speak hurt so much.

My boss is getting short with me because I am asking him to do his job. Wah Wah Wah man-child, I deal with a tough 8 year-old each night, you are no match.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I've never understood the point of mission statements.

I get goals, but missions statement are just what we do. If you are a company or nonprofit -- the basic purpose shouldn't be changing. Goals might change , because of an area of percieved weakness- but changing mission words is more for customers.

Reading it 57 times a day isn't going to help

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, I just got some nice emails from DonorsChoose on behalf of a Ms. G. Yay!

Also, I just remembered what I really miss about working in my office -- all of the hilarity. We were dying laughing in our update meeting just now, because most of the updates were about (a) the toner box someone has to carry around to prop up her injured arm, and (b) the temp who was insisting that someone who keeps Kosher must really want to try the King Cake and get the Baby Jesus!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Who wants to help me identify appropriate training and professional development activities for next year?

Once I do that, I will be done with my evaluation.

Our wings are not tired.

I, Perkins, will endevour to attend each and every conference located near a Buffista. Thus, I will only be in the office approximately 3.7 days in 2010.
