WFO: Jason Dorsey

Mr. Dorsey had some fun last week. With the record-setting heat and beautiful blue skies experiences here in the Seattle area, he found himself a change of venue. He sent a brief message with the following pictures:

It is too beautiful a day to be in the office so I am WFO today.  (Working from Outside)

If you need to reach me you can call me on my cell at 425-749-1086 or just “step out” to my office. 

Anyone is welcome to join me for a fun work environment.

Gotta go.  The sunshine and breeze are calling me.

A few minutes later, Jason found himself with a friend (albeit less productive than Mr. Dorsey, who was actually working).

My Favorite Culvert

                             

I remember the first time I came across the culvert, like it happened just yesterday: I was participating in a fire drill over in Building 115, and my team met out on 148th facing our building. It was a warm summer day, and the grass was still damp from an evening shower. Not content to stand idle and wait for further instruction from the Safety Overlords, I noticed a large grassy area on the southern end of the building with a couple benches, and started to make my way over. That's when I noticed the culvert. Oh, sure, some people call it a drainage ditch, but I like to think of it as a man-made water concourse, gently guiding excess precipitation into the arteries of our beloved municipal water treatment facilities, and making this world a better place in the process.

I'm not afraid to say it -- I think I might love that culvert. There. It's out in the open. And I am not ashamed.
