OH, SO ACCOUNTING HAS ISSUES WITH $230,000 WORTH OF MAD SCIENCE.

Email sent to Rod in AFE-land:

QuoteDear Mongoloid Bean Counter:

I have read the email you sent listing your concerns and objectives to a measly quarter-million bucks.  Given that the loss of customers resulting from the failure to produce on time/in spec will only cost us a few million this year alone, along with COMPLETE AND IRREVERSIBLE LOSS OF MARKET SHARE, meaning that the $450 million dollar project in Germany is DEAD IN THE WATER, MONEY ALREADY SPENT.  I am sure, as you must be sure, that you don't want to explain this to your boss, as you both walk out to your cars for the last time.

I have a proposal, though, that could make everyone happy.  We don't run the second compressor, and instead you and your department come down to Tucson and blow into the end of the pipe.  As full of wind as You People are, I expect we can easily maintain 1000 SCFM at 100 PSI indefinitely, if you work in shifts.

Up the revolution, you yammering gasbag,
Roger



PS:  If this email hurt your feelings enough to contact HR, I assure you that I still have those pictures of your little "incident" at the strip joint in Lafayette last July, you naughty little monkey.  No, this isn't "putting the arm on you", it's outright fucking extortion.  Love & kisses, Rod, love & kisses.

:lulz: This was AMAZING.

I need to put you in charge of my love life immediately.

Love letters are my speciality.

I feel like my strategy should be posting the messages I get from men on OKC, and having you draft my responses.

What could go wrong?

I'm down.

So...Only one air dryer available, and it WOULD be enough, if we were at sea level.

Since I can't bring it to sea level, I brought sea level to it.

I think I remember from somewhere else that your plant makes aluminum oxide? This strongly implies that either your jet and ball mills are made out of SOLID DIAMOND, or holes are periodically worn through them that shoot streams of powdered sapphire at an abrasive bazillion PSI.

Either way, fabulousness.

Fact:  William Gibson TOTALLY missed the idea of CELL PHONES.

Fact: William Gibson had no idea how (then) current technology worked, so his extrapolations were built on a pretty fucking shakey foundation. What he wrote was actually an aesthetic, based on having seen bladerunner a couple of times, crossed with abstract corporate politics.

Whatever, I took like half a semester on personal leave just to smoke weed and consume Neuromancer at the most leisurely possible rate I could muster.  A learning experience second only to thesis completion, for me.  All future technology will suck his dick, in perpetuity.

My experience of Neuromancer was under similar conditions. I reckon I gained more insight from the weed, personally.

After reading "all tomorrows parties" I think of him more as a cross between a walt disney futurist and an anthropologist.

He did see runaway missuse of the google glass coming though.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

Is it bad that I am not at all sure who the hell William Gibson is? Some kind of science fiction writer, I have gathered. Is he the guy who wrote Generation X?

he wrote Neuromancer, which features THE WORST imagining of the future of the internet ever. He's incredibly overrated as a cyberpunk author.
