Um, yes I do.
ReplyDeleteWhat does 'successful' mean here?
ReplyDeleteDoes it depend on what the meaning of 'is' is?
Bodman: You people have demonstrated great success this year. In fact, you were so good we don't need a lot of you. Congratulations! I'm RIF'ing a third of the complex workforce. You earned it!
ReplyDeletePRESS RELEASE
ReplyDeleteThe (select name--LANL, NNSA, DOE, LANS, UC) are proud to announce that 2007 was our best year yet. We excelled like never before. We amazed even ourselves. Things aren't just improving, we are reaching new heights with each passing day. We encountered no significant shortcomings. We were largely on target and within budget on virtually everything. We take this opportunity to self assess our achievements very seriously, and so we take extra precautions to make certain we are objective as humanly possible under the circumstances given the data and our understanding thereof. Otherwise, we're 100% confident in our assessment. And so given this, we'd have to conclude our performance rating for this past year would have to be characterized as being beyond excellent or outstanding. The word "stellar" comes to mind. Indeed, 2007 was stellar year for our institution!
