Just Fabric

A constitutional amendment that prevents “The Physical Desecration of the American Flag” For fucks sake. It’s a flag. It’s a bit of cloth. Its only purpose, its only meaning, is to be a symbol of a country, and if you want to get more abstract, for the freedoms…

The Happy

I heard some upper management types talking about the call center at work today. Now, I’ve never run a call center, but I have (like most techies, getting their start) worked on an ISP helpdesk in the past, providing call-in support to users with problems. My first tech gig,…
