Very little. I dropped elder daughter at daycare, and, feeling a little like I did for Super Bowl Sunday 2002 (aka The Time I Was Supposed to Host a Party But Instead Went to The Emergency Room), I decided to take a sick day... or most of the day ( Read more... )

The Ploughboy Creed... scoreboard August 3 2007, 05:02:25 UTC

"RESUMES: Just recall the opening reel of The Magnificent Seven and you won't have to bother with this part; you should crawl to us on hands and knees and beg us for the privilege of paying our salaries."

I think Mr. Stephenson hit it right ;]

Stephenson has taken these chestnuts:

"It ain't bragging if you can do it"

"Modesty is for those with nothing of which to be proud."

And polished them to a high, glossy sheen. I need to read his stuff again. And give those pages from Cryptonomicon to the President and CEO of current company for inspiration for our proposals.

Congratulations. =) I have no doubt you earned it all. I hope they gave you a huge f---all raise.

Well done, Mr. A. Now. Just go home and rest, will you? Sheesh. Don't be a martyr... there are things worth dying for, but none of 'ems work.
