Heinlein is problematic for a lot of reasons, but I've always been inspired by this: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." he/him

It isn't: When HR calls it .... we call it
It is: When HR called it ... we called it
