agency kudos?! i just didn't know ...

this is the part of the lobby of the san diego air pollution control district (aka SDAPCD) with whom i work ...

because, as part of my consulting practice, SDAPCD processes the paper(s) that i prepare so that i can get a piece of paper ... or 2 or 27 or 2 x 27 pieces of paper.

i am in this lobby at least 4 times a month (and i'm pretty sure i'm underestimating).

and apparently i have never noticed the recognition the SDAPCD has received. in fact, since the beginning of the year (after the SDAPCD relocated to this new building), i have been in this lobby at least 25 times ... and i guess i'm just not paying attention to the lobby decor.


and then upon seeing there is a National Association of Counties Organization that gives out awards ... admittedly, i had to check the validity of such an organization, and lo and behold (argh, matey!) ... NACO is a real organization that gives out real awards and does other stuff.

this is good to know. this way, i won't have to wonder if someone at the SDAPCD is using something like this

to get ... this ...


or perhaps to self-congratulate for this ...


either way ... SDAPCD is pretty o.k., i suppose. Hmmmm ... i wonder if the OTHER like-kind agencies in the state ...
