It's a good day when I learn something new!
It's an even better day when I understand what I learned. I count my blessings for the expert and devoted staff I had back in the day who made a point of making me look good---never mind what the facts of the matter happened to be.
Fast forward to today when my staff of kitty cats' primary concern is getting their breakfast on time. That's why they just looked at me today when I told them I sort of understood what this gentleman was saying----sort of----and then they said they'd work on it-----AFTER breakfast---and report back. They also said they might need a budget deviation authorization to retain a consultant---and that I should remind folks that the boss is not always right----but he's never in doubt!!
I told them that would not be a problem---unless the Boss Lady found out about it.
