Required Reading
Jul. 30th, 2008 09:25 pmI've spent the past two hours rapidly reviewing technical proposals for a task order, and I'm only half way through. My eyes are crossing. My head hurts.
Then I have to go back over these slowly, paying attention to seemingly minor details. Why, you ask, am I subjecting myself to this? Because I volunteered to be on the committee that will choose the new contractor for this task order. It's on-the-job training of sorts, and I'm sure to learn all sorts of good things doing this.
It is the ineffable nature of bureaucracies that they feed on and require large quantities of paperwork. Even in this age of computerized submissions, we still have reams of paper. It's tradition.
For now, I shall set them aside and ponder them.
ObFeline: Brady has discovered the open storage bin partly full of clean clothing, decided that he must contribute to the cause, and has gone to sleep on top of said clothing -- which will now also store a large amount of his black/grey and white hairs. However, in his defense, he's so cute.
