Snowden

As expected, work has continued to be busy. There was another round of OBO staff bidding on upcoming construction project positions this month, but as earlier this year, this process seems to be somewhat continuous. It's certainly interesting to learn how the process works, but it seems nearly impossible to predict assignments due to an incredibly high number of variables.

The whole Snowden thing has come up in some conversations, but it hasn't had any impact on our daily life (e.g., no classified materials handling requirement changes). I admit that recently I haven't thought much about US diplomatic relations with Russia until I read this article. From it, I gleaned this sage advice from Vladimir Putin, who said, "It’s O.K. to kind of pinch somebody’s behind, perhaps, but not to hit them with a baseball bat.” So true.
