(No Subject)

Don't you love the "(No Subject)" title? Sounds very mysterious, doesn't it? There's no mystery here, just me going to sleep early. I'll be back tomorrow.

By the way, are all of the readers still out there? I haven't heard much of anything in the way of feedback on the articles this week so either everyone thinks they suck or they are just indifferent. I know many of you work in offices and thought you'd appreciate my rants about the corporate world.

One other note: I'm extremely and pleasantly surprised with the recent record release by The Strokes titled First Impressions of Earth. I was never a huge fan of these guys, but definitely enjoy the sound that they have going on. Highly recommend it.

Don't worry Ross...at least us who also work at IBM can appreciate the Office Space rants!

Ross... I wanted to send these to you the other day when you wrote about email signatures. Here at Carnegie Mellon... let's just say they are abused daily. Even some of the students have them!!!

That is ridiculous... entirely too much information for the bottom of an email. 2 lines for job title? A web address? And the phone/fax combo? Absurd.
