I hope she took her cooch with her...

Today I learned something new about the UK's National Archives.

Apparently they have a set of software standards for which they certify compliance - this I sort of new.

We had a presentation of some software that is so certified but it took awhile to understand that fact - What I learned was it seems the three letter acronym used to identify the UK National Archives is TNA (The National Archives).

So here we are in a conference room and the vendor is going on and on about TNA compliance, and most of us are trying to hold back giggles wondering - did he just say what I think he said? And what does this feature have to do with T&A?

Those silly Brits

If your peer review of my 2Ls first draft (of three) is going to include absolutely nothing positive and conclude with a spiteful paragraph of personal insults, you might want to proof that bit of vile for typos. Particularly since you claimed the article you were critiquing was "compromised throughout" by typos.

Hope you weren't counting on a spot on next year's editorial board.

I have coughed so much over teh last few days my sides are killing me and I've almost blacked out twice... maybe 3rd times the charm?

Our company has a program which rewards people within the company for coming up with new product or business ideas. The process involves a few steps that begin with submitting a form describing your idea.

Eventually, to see if the idea would benefit our customers, it's reviewed by the "Customer Advisory Council"...The CAC. And people don't say "C" "A" "C". They say "The CAC"

The first time I heard our VP of engineering mention "The CAC" was in an all-hands meeting with several hundred of my closest engineers. I don't know how I managed to stifle my laugh.

I'm not getting much work done today. I just can't concentrate.

Is it wrong that I am looking forward to the "pre-flight" more than the actual company party?

I love it when people make things right.

Went to the park today. It was so not crowded! Relaxing and fun, just what a 'ditch day' should be. ;)

Finally rode Rockin' Space Mountain. I enjoyed it, did not get sick. Big plus for me.

How many different things are going on up there in Anaheim? I tried to book a room figuring it would be cheap but it was at least $50 more than last weekend {and this was for a Thursday night}.

At Bucas there were a couple of groups around us and also they set up two very long tables for a group. What is NAMM?

Also, I love Golden Dreams.

Bornieo~take come cough medicine! If it is that bad you may need a prescription. Try sitting in the bathroom with the shower steaming up. That will help produce more productive coughs. Monitor if you have a fever and for how long....

BtD~ who did good?

National Association of Music Marketers. It is their big trade show at the Anaheim Convention Center.

These are the people who make and sell musical instruments (guitars, drums, etc.) and associated stuff. It is a HUGE show in the music biz with lots of live shows and parties. I would love to be able to go one time.
