I have come to the conclusion that I sometimes over-hyphenate, but that I don't mind and that I want it to be part of my personal style. If it bothers you, I apologize.
Yesterday we had a staff retreat at work, and we got a friend of ours to let us use a conference room at her large, international company's office building. A building which was large and happened to be right on the harbor and had a great view of Baltimore. And I was not expecting much from the retreat, because it was sorta last-minute and it seemed like only one person in the office really wanted to do it. But I enjoyed it, because my boss did what I think was a really good job leading it, and it was productive and not a complete waste of time. Plus, free lunch and stuff.
You know, if there's one thing I hate, it's having work done on the car.
