Cell phone, Meebo, and IM overload

My Outlook calendar showed I had “lunch with Jace” from 1pm to 2pm today. It was really a job interview. So when I got back to my office, starving, at 2:30, I couldn’t heat up my South Beach Whatever Was On Sale Tasty Frozen Dinner and eat at my desk. Our Outlook calendars are public, […]

A Sacred, Not Secret, Mormon Document

The Mormon church filed a copyright infringement claim against Wikipedia because they have a link to the “Church Handbook of Instructions,” which like the Temple itself, must be sacred, not secret. So of course, I had to read the offending document. It is 198 PDF pages. I skimmed.

A Good Ego Boost

I got a call this morning from a company asking if I could come in for a job interview this afternoon. The HR director was going out of town, and today was the ONLY time he could talk to me. Shit. I was dressed in my usual casual. I told the person I spoke with […]

ZCMI - Nipples Be Gone

If you are Mormon or live in the Intermountain West, you know about ZCMI. Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution. Founded in 1868, it claimed to be the United State’s first department store. This cooperative had a variety of locations until it was centralized in downtown Salt Lake City in 1870. It was started and owned by […]
