I happen to know a number of current (and recently employed) public servants. They are not “lazy,” “corrupt,” or “grifters.” In fact, they could make more $$$ if they worked for the private sector and not work as hard as they do either.

This is turning into a fascinating example of how the scientists need to talk to the marketing people and the investment people right from Day 1. Messaging to non-scientists is important!

Tiling finished ✅ Got to wait for it to cure a couple of days but the kiddos shower should be grouted and sealed by the time the week is over. I’m totally skipping out on the grouting and sealing part though, if I can help it 😄

There is something absurdly satisfying about tiling. Most everything I do is cerebral. I appreciate being able to use the hands for some crafty-ness. Dad’s side of family are builders (and some farmers). Wanted to go into that trade myself but was seduced away by paleontology 😉
