Controlled Unclassified Confusion

Controlled Unclassified Confusion

They organized a bunch of activity to start the week. You know that was already a little difficult for the scheduling this week. DeMille was frankly exhausted from attempting to supervise the election coverage, the one in which some members of the Creative Staff had been warned not to disclose any unfavorable opinions about people […]

Fifteen Minute County: Syria Falls, But No Sunday Production Meetings

Fifteen Minute County: Syria Falls, But No Sunday Production Meetings

Joyous Voices Next Weekend! The morning events have DeMille in a dilemma about production, which he had intended to be covered with a Saturday piece from Kristina about some of the local stuff, an update on local real estate with the news about the Hegseth nomination going forward while Mr. Trump is acting as US […]

FMC: Working from Home

FMC: Working from Home

There was a separate meeting late yesterday, long after Happy Hour had started over by the Patio, inside mostly. There was interest on the killer of the Health Exec who apparently is still at large and there were two other issues. The Socotra workforce sort of works from home, if that is what this is, […]

Fifteen Minute County: Anniversaries

Fifteen Minute County: Anniversaries

We were doing the usual December holiday ramp-up meeting, closing the first week to clear off the Turkey stuff and transition through the military commemorations and get back to the transition activities that are picking up steam. There was talk about the precedence of the Bronze Star medal, and if awarded with the little “V” […]

Fifteen Minute County: Parking on Leaves

Fifteen Minute County: Parking on Leaves

The morning started out more quickly than usual. Thursdays are a weekly peak with the only regular group session before lunch. Though mostly Zoom, in the space they called the conference room in the suite that has also been a condo and an apartment. So, that part of the pitch was simple enough with the […]

Queen of the Tetons

You can see the complications in the production meeting this morning. They included the matter of cheese grits with herbs, later local whiskey deliveries, commemorative branding, the recent sledge-hammer robberies over by Point Chaud on Georgia Avenue across the River and why news about a Russian Kilo-class diesel submarine in the South China Sea was […]

Fifteen Minute County: Winter Weather Awareness Week

Fifteen Minute County: Winter Weather Awareness Week

Sorry this is a rush in what used to be morning but has failed in that. DeMille told us to get something out about the direct impact of the messaging in the new week just getting revved up for the three weeks to XMS after Turkey Day. There is a bunch of it and Splash […]

Fifteen Minute County: The Light Astern

Fifteen Minute County: The Light Astern

The week is already starting out with a roar, so DeMille told us to cool it a little bit on a Monday that is an actual First day of a new week in the last month. There had been some discussion about what pony to attempt to ride as the last new moon of this […]

Emojis of December

Emojis of December

So, the outbreak today started with those things in the circles above. They mix the political ones with the emoji of how Kristina felt after the scooter mishap. Plowing across the streams of conversation was the football thing that DeMille nixed insertion on the heading as “too provocative.” Stay with something safe like senior accidents […]

Fifteen Minute County: Saturday’s Monday

Fifteen Minute County: Saturday’s Monday

The Holiday-made Monday tempo collided with Saturday and there was dislocation in the air, some attempting to relax and others underway with the list of things that need to get done. Some Black Friday stuff to wrap up. A stop at the Credit Union in the chill set the right mood. Awake. Also the storm […]
