You know what I just love? The fact that this week’s top search term driving visitors to the other side of the mountain is “urine drinking”. Admittedly, it’s not quite as bizarre as some of the others I’ve had, but it still gives me a warm feeling.

dolce x 2: Yes – ultimately, but at the time, the situation is pregnant with possibility.
quantumfauxpas: I get to do that about 50% of the time – it’s called “attending meetings” and it’s not all that great, actually.

Is understanding his confusion.
He’s been paid for years for now doing any real work, so why shouldn’t they.
Sometimes it is more cost effective to just pay people to stay home – at least that way they can do no damage.

Most of the people I am forced to collude with daily, stopped looking for work just about the time they got the job. It’s amazing what they don’t do, yet get away with. I bow at their maastery: doing nothing and getting paid for it is quite a skill. Mental note: must accquire!

Hey! When did you revamp your site? Nice work. Very dignified. This is the downside of using Google Reader. You never get to see the actual sites.

The more interesting point is that you are supposed to show up in person where people haven’t been paid. Isn’t that a recipe to take one right in the bazoo?
