Laugh II

For those of us on a briefing obsessed staff, this is pretty accurate.

THE BALLAD OF THE POWER POINT RANGER
(sung to the tune of "The Green Beret")

Requests are made from day to day;
Briefings held and changes made.
Graphic slides, a must they say,
Power Point is the only way.

Computers crash and printers stall,
Overloading protocol.
Network's down and soldiers cry
Briefing's late, so heads will fly.

Pin Power Point slides upon my chest,
Full color slides, they look the best
100 slides were made that day
but only 10 made the final display.

Smiles upon the General's face
Slides were done, looked really great
Was up all night really working late,
Just to hear the General say ....

My soldier son, your slides were great,
Briefing's done, staff's up to date,
One problem son, you took too long,
So put in one more change, then go on home.

So tell my Mom I done my best,
Pin Power Point slides upon my chest
100 slides were made that day,
but only 10 made the final display.

After 9/11 I had a chat with the AF Reserve, looking for any job they might have for me. The only skill of mine they were interested in was Powerpoint. I didn't follow up.

BTW, when is your birthday? I don't need the YYYY, just MM/DD. Thanks.

Wow! That's my cousin Becky's birthday. (Good fences make good neighbors. A thousand or so miles between CO and OH makes a heck of a fence.) My sister is April 23.

Good, that gives me plenty of time to organize a 'care package.'

Me again. Just heard on FoxNoise that NASA had a five-and-a-half HOUR meeting to try and figure out why SS Atlantis's fuel sensors are malfunctioning. Der, the launch planned for Saturday ain't happenin' now.
