The 'task' in 'task force' refers to the act of actually being part of the task force itself. It's a bit circular, in my opinion. Therefore, the 'force' can only describe what someone did to me to get me involved.
Okay, so I do realize that 'force' is a name given to the team to enable them to do great things with tasks. It's often given in place of other resources, such as additional equipment, staffing, or coffee. Instead, we are expected to join our colleagues and continue to remind ourselves that we are a FORCE! A force with a TASK!
In fact, a synonym for 'task' is 'calling' and a synonym for the relevant meaning of 'force' is 'intestinal fortitude'. Therefore, I will for now on refer to a task force as a "Calling for Intestinal Fortitude". In other words, we'll order lunch for every meeting.

On a separate note I wanted to mention that when my wife is traveling soon, I plan to remove half of the refrigerator's contents until about an hour before her return. Why? Because there's beer back there. I just know it.

Okay - I know the blog is fun-fun-fun and all but PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE the dried goods from the fridge when I am away. Please? Please! If you do, and I find out about it (and btw, I have sources) there will be an increased list of things to go in there when I return. Right now, we do not put unopened dried goods in there, like unopened boxes of pasta and cereal... but we can... and I will -- if you do anything crazy. Did I metion that I have sources?
