How Do You Compare

By Anonymous
Please post anon and ask your audience to pass the link along.

This was sent to me by an unknown contributor. After viewing the movie I thought about how minuscule our problems are compared to what you're about to view. While watching I asked myself, am I half the person this man is. The answer wasn't only no, but, no way could I do this. Please take the time to rank yourself and let us know how you compare. Enjoy

One Stong Individual

If all else fails cut and paste the URL and then download the video to your hard drive and then watch. Please watch the entire lecture, it's not that long and I'm sure you can spare a few minutes out of your life. It's was an eye opener for me.

you're right. I could not do this or deal with this situation. This needs to be seen by everyone in America.

Dieing right now. Should have last June, but a higher power had other plans for me. Not even my spouse knows.

I could mope, could tell others and gather up sympathy. I still have battles to fight, for others.

It's never all about you. It's helping others. I have a huge debt of kind acts that people have done for me and I want to do some more before I go.

You are a better person than me. If I knew I was dieing I would only be concerned about me and all the things I never did while I was in good health. I will take the time to get the "trust" updated and assure that when I am gone all will be oaky for others, but I sure as heck will be doing all I wanted to do and it won't be working at LLNL everyday. They are last on my priority list now and they surely won't be moving up under those conditions.

Hang in there and good luck. I hope you live another forty years and do all you feel is right before you go. Take care.

You can bank if I was every to find out I was terminally ill and had a defined time left on earth I'm going on the first cruise to Alaska and spend a few weeks if not a month then I'll come back for my treatment if there is one, if there isn't I will just continue to have a good time and that incudes eating all the foods I never had a chance to so I could stay healthy. Starvation and discipline in what I ate or how much I ate would be out of the question. It'd be who cares.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
