Professionalism: And while I'm here, let me says something bad about your mother...
I mentioned my detail to this interagency groups is having its downs and downs. There aren't really ups at the moment. Today I got to hear the story of how we found out we were losing the office space.
At the last meeting, the nice man from (particular agency) who does seem to pick up on some strange details and takes the discussion off in different directions, was thinking to himself "Wait a minute, we give $120K/year in office space, but we're the only other agency besides the lead agency giving any money. Hey! I could cut that amount because no one else is giving them money either!"
We know this because he recounted this thought process to my detail boss. My boss asked if he was still planning to stay a member of the group, to which nice, weird man with no real understanding of political acumen replied "Absolutely! We'll be doing just as much as all the other agencies that don't give you money are doing!"
Rats, spiders and smart people, the life boats are now available for boarding on the port rail. Women and children next.
