Saturday


Copland playing in background. Reading the Federal Register regulations regarding federal contractors and individuals with disabilities. Using the jeweler's eye on any changes from earlier definitions. Outlining a client fact sheet to translate the bureaucratese into plain language. It is beyond me how anyone in Congress could have supported the extraordinarily sloppy language in the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act. [I wonder how many bar napkins were needed for the first draft.] It's getting a tad cloudy outside. Rain? When I retrieved the newspapers this morning there was evidence of a slight sprinkle. I accidentally stepped on a snail and mourned briefly. Went out early and bought coffee. Will brew a pot now. Let's see: "The contractor, in making hiring decisions, should consider applicants who are known to have disabilities for all available positions for which they may be qualified when the position(s) applied for is unavailable." [Yes, you read that correctly.] Gee, that shouldn't create any complications. The Copland has played out. Time for some Gershwin. Also want to get through a leadership book today and to read some chapters on Wellington's campaign in Spain. Just took the dog out in the backyard. She stared at the sky and sniffed. Some water is coming.
