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.

Ever wonder why information like this is so secretive. Not a single person involved will come forward and give the exact dollar amount spent on this job. I wonder if they'll come forward after the 29th of May. A good figure to know would be the "TOTAL" cost of the "Open house" and the "NIF dedication".
It's LLNS corporate proprietary information, just like all the executive salaries. You don't have a "need to know".
But the American tax payer does, so spit out the waste of our tax dollars so far on this one day event. I'm sure $17 million doesn't cover it all.
Also someone in the hall said 1 million for the wood chips alone.
You're correct, we've been getting it since the take over by LLNS. Check you wallet if you have any doubt and this year should be worse as they get four months free labor and no 20% after tax raises going to thr workers. That's about what it would take to make up what they have taken.
