Blimey Tim, you need to get out more!

“Making the bad noises stop” was the issue I had with the mug – Bad words surely?

It’s convalescing while I get my masters finished. It will return, just not yet. I need to fully appreciate instrumental variables in regression analysis, the Barro model of tax smoothing and the implications of the lack of a coherent theory of intertemporal justice on climate change policy before I can even think of making silly jokes about words again.

I might stick up a note to that effect. Well reminded, thank you.

Don’t forget “align”. We must align because apparently we can’t “agree” on anything.

Love it. Hey let’s touch base on this in a few weeks to see if it’s gotten any traction.

I worked in technology for the first part of my career, then I went into consulting, change management stuff. I took a few years off to work in non-profits then got back into it. So, of course, I started by going to networking meetings of all kinds. What I found was that I had no idea what people were saying when I asked them what they did or what they were working on. After a few meetings I discovered that they had just changed the names of the problems, sorry issues/opportunities, I was working on three years earlier. What a relief, I didn’t need to be retrained, just re-jargoned.
