“Oh, hey Sue. My proposal…? It’s in flight!”
Props to Denise for the submission.
In Flight
RANDOM LINGO
Inside Baseball

Props to Bob D. for the submission.
Headcount
(1). That anxiety-inducing term every department faces at comp time. Will it go up? Will it go down? Did we hit our numbers? Where am I on the performance chart this year? Yikes!
