Now I Will Always Have Pockets!
I briefed my (government) boss this morning on a study I've had some of our engineering group experts working on. Mostly, I wanted to get his agreement that it was complete, except for some document formalization.
At a meeting shortly after that, someone was describing another organization's idea of "coordinating" a policy. "They said everyone was on board because it came up at the meeting," she said. "But it never got talked about at the meeting and it was only in the back-up charts."
"Hmm," I said. "Now I know how to achieve my plans for total world domination."
My boss replied, "I'm going to have to look very carefully at the back-up charts from that study."
(If you don't get the title of this entry, I often tell people that the first thing I'd do if I ruled the world is make it illegal to sell women's clothing without pockets.)
