I laughed! No earthquake will get me. I Didn’t even feel the most recent one. When the 9.0 quake comes, I’ll already be in heaven; smoking a cigar, drinking single malt, and flirting with God’s cute and buxom office assistant.

Meh, all companies have their marching orders. I've had to do it for places I work at, knowing full well I was handing over fish.
Short story: I worked at one place that sold a pink and purple product. The purple was obviously purple when it sat next to the pink product, but without the reference, the product appeared pink.
Customer service thought I had some clout to do something about it (I didn't) and would pressure me to do something about it. I would just walk to the warehouse, grab the items in question, and show them that the product was, in fact, purple... they all knew I was handing them a fish, but such was life.
I did talk to upper management about it, and asked them, as lightly as I could, if they were color blind, because it was obvious said product was not the correct color. According to them China said it was purple, therefore it was purple.
I'm going to write all of ray's posts down on a piece of paper and send them to a fortune cookie company. They'll pay a bundle for them. I'm gonna be rich!
I figured The Lounge's literati would enjoy this little rap:
The highlighted is all of the words that rhyme:
There is also this, in case you miss it:

In on part, he raps:
"abilities riddle me, Middle C" then an explosion.
In music / midi land, notes are noted by their octave, so C1 is bass, C7 is up in the registers. Middle C is the key in the middle of the piano, otherwise denoted as C4.
C4 is also an explosive, and thus you hear an explosion.
I'm back to working full time July 1st. Perhaps displaying inordinate stupidity, I agreed to do the dean job for a year.
Why didn't I just say no? Maybe I'm bored.

You are drunk for power! Fire everyone and get going on regime change. Your first move in taking over the entire university. Also have a Summer Solstice book burning to inflame the throbbing masses. And start wearing a uniform with extra large epaulets. And really cool Italian sunglasses.

I have no real power. So the epaulets may be overkill.

Had two colleagues over for lunch yesterday. They were both delighted I'm taking the dean job again. But they love me, so perhaps they were simply being nice. I really expected "Are you ****ing crazy?"
