Darn close
|
The important stuff we could find
|
One heck of an effort
|
Worked real hard just before we showed up
|
Things looking better than they really are
|
They try just a little harder next time
|
They think about doing the work when they are supposed to.

Comme si, comme sa
|
A little of this and a little of that
|
Some good things, some bad things
|
Done some of this and done some of that
|
Some good results and some bad results
|
They take some actions and ignore some others
|
They become more decisive
|

Not the best
|
The lousy work they showed us
|
Wishing things were right doesn’t make it so
|
Offered us a generous bribe
|
Us not giving them a ineffective opinion
|
We look the other way right now
|
We show up again next year because they gave us some really neat stuff

Purple
|
Those far-out little sheets they do their work on
|
The answers to life, the universe, and everything
|
A vibe going that just can’t be explained
|
One of the grooviest happy hours we’ve ever attended
|
You please get off the towers
|
You have to try those brownies!!
|
|

|
A disaster
|
Everything they had done wrong (which was everything)
|
Sheesh..you have to be kidding
|
Apparently lost any common sense they ever had
|
An inability to find a single thing they did right
|
All evidence of the department’s work be burned
|
All involved be summarily hung
