Loved your 55 Linc
As always, well thought out.
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
So *that's* the problem with this place. I was wondering. Somehow I don't think the DIMU system analyst folks are going to get around to a fix in my lifetime. Enjoyed your bureaucratically flavored 55.
ReplyDeleteToo weird. The phone system at my work went out as I began reading this. AAAaaaaa. You're scaring me.
ReplyDeleteWow, this has a real jolt to it...in spite of the interruption in service! Very thought-provoking 55. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNow I know who to put the blame on - DIMU!!
