Called one Black the other during a client call last week. Oops.

Boy was I surprised during my last “engagement” with black water. I showed up wearing deal sleds expecting it to be a strategy case but realized it was a staff aug when they handed me a shemagh and a plate carrier. Project quickly went out of scope. Syria was cool though.

Can you add “Chris” to the vertical axis?

You need to add “Tread” the the vertical axis so you can get some fictional government assassins in there. Plus another tire company apparently

I once met an older women at a bar. We hit it off. I asked what she did and she said I work for backwater. I thought “oh damn a smart one” and kept talking to her. It wasn’t until I asked her about investing that I realized I made a terrible mistake. I could’ve used this then. Also the tattoos that were visible were probably a 🚩 as well.
