If something's just a "day job", and some bureaucratic change causes disruption, one can easily shrug and say, "oh well, it's not like it's anything that *matters*". But seriously disrupt (...)

"Those who laugh together, stay together" I figured if I could get my colleagues laughing about these issues, they would stick in their minds a little more. Greg and I also tried very (...)
