Quickies
Some quick thoughts:
- It's too damn nice outside (around 80°F, sunny, nice breeze) to be stuck in this office. I feel like the cat that's been left inside to stare out the window.
- I hereby declare that I'm fed up with the use of the word leverage. If I hear that word and there's not a lever involved with lifting something it really grates on my nerves. Perhaps I should leverage my hatred of that word and go do something productive....
- Which reminds me... the word solution is not to be used as a verb. You have been warned.

I need an example here. I can't think of any sentence that would include solution as a verb.
No normal human uses solution as a verb. This abomination only occurs in the rarified world of business-speak.
An example I once heard from a management-type somewhere:
We must work actively to solution the problem.
