Why does everything I might have wanted to say just desert me as soon as I open the post screen, lately?
My day - pretty good, training people went well. And then I got asked to train one more person at the very end of the day in something I had not trained since last October, and ended up leaving a half hour late.
Our computer-fixing guy was there, today and we discussed some interesting things while I was cleaning up after class and he was waiting for the machine to reformat. He thinks that gov't (Federal to local) could save a lot more money by looking at practices which are just crazy rather than trying the quick fix of firing people we need (like teachers and firefighters). For instance, every different government entity that his company has had a contract with has had to do a different full background check on him. Those are expensive, so if they had a centralized database they could just do an updated background check since the last one.
Great idea, right? So I came home and told Eor about that, and his response? That every bureaucrat wants to keep their own job, so they would leak that to the Libertarians and they would scream about the government keeping tabs on everyone. So we keep it like it is - the only people who know every little detail about you are marketers.
Well, can't remember what else.
Oh! Cyberquail! We tried some of the mincemeat you made us at Christmas! (I know, why did it take us so long? I have no idea.) Hawk and I had it on ice-cream and it was GOOOOOD. Damn!
