I really like my company. They treat me more than fairly; they put me into a leadership position when I had only six months of experience; they recompense me well for my work; their benefits are great; and my bosses are actively helping me to excel - not to mention paying for me to go to school. However, as I was driving to class this morning, I passed our annual Christmas display. Someone in corporate management has completely bought into America the Redeemer. The display showed four doves spreading an United States flag over the globe with the caption “Peace on Earth.” Maybe they could have added Team America in Santa suits dropping peace nukes, for where there are no persons to be enemies, there will be peace - thus sayeth the Prez. Of course, contextually, this display is about par for the course given the various war-themed Christmas messages along the main boulevard through the air force base. Santa riding a MOAB, little electronic warfare gremlins standing next to gift bags - you get the picture.

Oh yeah, 1000. *shoop shoop*
