Good morning...
Overall...
It wasn't such a great day yesterday.
But,
For me I hit a milestone in my backlog of work,
And thus...
Am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
As long as I can resist the temptation to go and sit in the garden.
I should be able to complete an important new module today.

Tribal Wisdom...
The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."
However, in government more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more
to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.And, of course...
13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position

Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
