Strategic planning

I am not a big fan of meetings. Today was our quarterly (kinda, when we get around to it) strategic planning meeting for my department at work. I hate prepping for them and I dread going, but they always turn out worthwhile and today was no exception. It's a time for the senior members of our department to actually talk for more than a status meeting or five minutes in the hall on what's going on and how it may impact others in the department and in the company. Patrick needs to learn to quit whining and realize there's value there. :o)

Nothing substitutes for communication in human affairs.

Then home to two moody females, only one of which had an excuse (happy [elided] birthday, honey! :o)]

And tomorrow's a brand new day! But I am working from home while waiting for refrigerator delivery, so that's cool. Maybe I can pretend to be a pastor all day!

Yes, I'm gonna get me religion, I'm gonna join the Baptist Church.

You know I wanna be a Baptist preacher, just so I won't have to work.

The meeting was a lot better then I thought it would be. I think because Rick went last. I wish we would have had more time so we could have gotten everything hammered out. Have fun working form home.
