Does Not Compute
You know, for the longest time sci-fi was full of crazy things that could happen in the future. Things like machines taking over the world. With all due respect to HAL, puh-lease! As if that could ever happen. Here’s the … Continue reading
The Candidate
OK, so maybe I should have paid closer attention when I applied for the job. I definitely should have researched the organization before my phone interview. It probably would have been good if I remembered I had an interview. Hey, … Continue reading

Getting so close to my last day…just two days to go now. Slowly but surely I’ve been packing up my stuff; the things I brought here in 2007, the things I’ve acquired since then. My beloved solar operated waving Queen, magic wand … Continue reading
Attack Of The Killer Accounting Managers
Liquid courage. We’ve all seen it in action; some of us even remember our own acts of drunken “bravery.” As the only sober person at a business dinner, my downfall was that I believed the sloshed slobs surrounding me. I … Continue reading
