Well if he was a precog and stated that he was going to get a promotion, the management would have to promote him or risk a temporal disruption that would result in a subspace rift and would destroy the entire planet.

He got the promotions because he was as devious as hell. He was also one of those people with a freaky talent for remembering names. He could recognize at least a third of the 12,000 people in the company, and usually remembered what they did and some other personal detail about them.

I would have been here at 8AM had my battery not died, necessitating calling roadside assistance for a jump, and then sitting at NTB for an hour and a half while they replaced the battery.
Clearly you're still paying for all the gelato and lovely scenery.
I woke up late and had to scramble to make the bus, and now I'm finding all the ways humans and software can misspell "usury."

You worked with Dubya?
I mean, that kind of inherent political ability is so completely alien to me it's hard for me to remember it's not always evil.
