Number two daughter came by this afternoon.
As many of you know, she runs the City of Phoenix Water Labs... she's a chemist.
As city budgets tighten and tighten, departments get compacted.
Amazingly enough Phoenix is cutting _managers_!
So my daughter has inherited the "street level" people, those who run the treatment plants scattered all over the "Valley of the Sun".
During her introduction to these people she overheard someone mutter, "Jennifer is hard-ass, but she's fair".
She was distraught about the "hard-ass", but I assured her that what really matters is, "... she's fair" ;-) ...Jim Thompson
