January 4, 2013 - Where productivity goes to die

There's an invoice they need to produce.
So I'll send one, email's what I'll use.
The assistant will say
That the snail mailing way
Is the way that they always would choose.

But her method has made me so queasy.
Mine is faster, and really quite easy.
Letterhead's on your shelf -
You could print it yourself?
Is she worried her forms might look cheezy?


January 3, 2013 - No good deed goes unpunished

In the Tank, many folks like to tell
‘Bout when things started going to hell.
With this story, I swear
It’s a breath of fresh air
When a system is working too well.


January 2, 2013 - OK, let's try that last question again

Yes, the outlook today is not right.
"Does your monitor have a green light?"
"Desktop color?" "It's beige..."
At this stage I would wager
That screen wasn't all that's not bright.
