re: #156 doppelganglander
Please let us know how it goes. I love stories about government functionaries whose heads explode when they try to assimilate new and unfamiliar information.
Those would drive me crazy, too, and I was actually a government functionary!
I did very well in my government career, and I have suspicion it had nothing whatsoever to do with any intelligence I have and much much more to do with the fact that I could see a situation, quickly size it up, quickly make a decision, and quickly act on it.
No one had to wait around for me to figure it out.
