But when it comes time to bee-kneeify it, the CS rep who takes your call is probably under-trained, frustrated and has no incentive whatsoever to give forth with knees for any insect, flying or otherwise.

If I were still an organizational development consultant I would totally stealask permission to use this. I'm totally with Aimee about its awesomeness.

But then I sobered up."
And how much do I miss seeing that 10000 watt smile in person? Sooooo much.
It misses you, too.
I need to come home to LA soon.

Fired, but alive and unscathed.
Cool - Haunted Mansion bash (for those of you in SoCal, and those who might go for a party at the HM.
Is that a wailing and gnashing of teeth (and stamping of feet) I'm hearing from the direction of Seattle?
Yes. Yes it is.
Someday, I will convince someone I know to name their child Clovis. Even as a middle name!
