Good start

Well it's been a good start! GF has spent the first day of his vacation catching up on emails, documents, appraisals, and mandatory education. He's finally getting to end of his "to do" list... and guesses he needs to start on his Don't do list.

GF sat through a long meeting yesterday before heading back south. It was progressing nicely, and agenda items were falling by the wayside. Suddenly there was a concerted bombardment of cliches. At first just sporadic, but in the end a cluster bomb of them... GF was at first disorientated (Shock and awe, he assumes) but finally grabbed his pencil to record...
...blah, blah, blah, of course a lot of water needs to flow under the bridge but we do need to be inside the tent, not on the ouside. We can't be seen to be standing on the touchline.
How big does a tent have to be to have a bridge with flowing water?
A brief respite, then:
...things are moving in the right direction but we risk moving to a "just in time" situation
GF thinks a bigger risk is moving to a "just too late" model!
