“When they’re not ‘touching base,’ they’re ‘checking in.’ Or they’re ‘circling back,’ which brings turkey vultures to my mind. This is Communication by Cringing Around, and I’m running out of time for it. How about you?”

On communication, professional and otherwise.
I will have to get back to you on that, right after the round table we are going to have on that subject, then either myself or one of the upper administrative staff will get an email out to set up a one on one, where we can conference in all pertinent parties and come to an executable plan of action and/or form a small committee to come up with a set of possible scenarios going forward. Thanks for proffering this all important point I truly look forward to working with you on this.
All the best to the family if they are readily available at this time if not then get back to me on that.
You’ve got the dot to fix this problem Murr.
