girl nutkin in the BA: picking up some PARSley and pausing for .

(this situation started with the purpose of being a real-time-ish, snarky-bit of the annual ritual of self-proclaiming one's fabulousness. however, as i was stream-of-consciousness writing, i am now pausing it until continuing after this evening because of this.pars-ley defined . a bet on the word (by andy) before this morning's farmers market routine.

it is not only around the actual green stuff used for recipes but also around the figurative-ish green stuff (i.e. money).

3. (noun from andy): an annual cubeopolis ritual of present and tell;
4. (verb from girlnutkin): the act of planned procrastination to make for an annual cubeopolis ritual of evidence and tell.

PARSley or just PARS . it is a simple acronym for performance appraisal review system - the end of the year thumbs-up or thumbs-down appearance and tell dance in cubeopolis. (remind yourself from the performance reviews fiber break in late october)however, this morn, i have renamed it as people are really servants - lemme explain y'all.real-time PARSley-ing .i will blog as i PARSley, so I can at least stay focussed and finish(!).while watching mass navigate the farmers market crowd and smilingpolitely at people in the coffee house, i spent the morning and am spendingthis afternoon at the wi-fi coffee house prepping my pars - a series ofpaper work exercises - a self-assessment, a design for my professionaldevelopment, and my transmittal cover memo.sunday morning thing . i usually stroll the farmers market in campbell (or sometimes palo alto, oakland, or wherever) to purchase produce and flowers, to people follow and listen, and maybe to clean up more food-stuff at whole foods down the street. this morning's campbell jaunt had an added touch. as andy reminded me betimes this morning via text - PARSley. (i have been remiss. so here's how i am parsley-ing out my time . time stamp START: 10:37 AM
