Slam poetry isn't for everyone, but I can see the appeal, and in this instance, y'know what, he did a fairly good job. Maybe not revolutionary, but a great storyteller.

Well, this is a general description I've found of what business analysts generally do.

If that doesn't help, just... look wise and say business-y things...

Don't look too wise though, otherwise they think you're a scientist rather than a sellout to the corporate world.

Specially there, old train tracks that go to no where, old machine shops that have not been used in decades. A few years ago I had to do a site survey there, it is like a maze, plenty of places to hole up.

For any given large structure there are probably only a dozen people if that who actually know where everything is. Everything else is known by the collective and details can be forgotten with only minor changes.

I should do some urban exploring again, that's always fun.

Greetings and solicitations, TET.

The last few months have been dreadful. Mom got very much worse and she was in and out of the hospital for a bit, and she passed two weeks ago. Now I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. Hope you're all doing well.
