  • Ladies and gentlemen,

    Hobos and tramps,

    Crosseyed mosquitoes

    And bowlegged ants:

    I come before you to stand behind you

    To tell you something I know nothing about.

    The price is free, so pay at the door.

    There are plenty of seats, so sit on the floor.

    One bright morning in the middle of the night

    Two dead boys got into a fight.

    Back to back they faced each other,

    Took out their swords and shot one another.

    A deaf policeman heard the noise

    And came and killed the two dead boys.

    If you don’t believe me, ask the blind man;

    He saw everything.

    Memorized while bored in elementary school






  • HP lured me away from Apple about 15 years ago, with promises of better pay and benefits. I made the mistake of believing their lies, and proceeded to work in one of the most hostile environments I’d ever encountered. Aside from the open and constant sexual harassment, I was horrified to see customer service maliciously transfer callers to dead extensions or to the branch in the Philippines, then laugh about it. “Tech support” was for selling more products, not for resolving issues. Management was a shitshow of nepotism, falling-over-drunkenness, corruption, office affairs, and massive cover-ups.

    I lasted 8 months, then I fled back to Apple, but I’ll never forget how HP blatantly loathed the customers.
