"The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple." -Oscar Wilde
aloha2u today,
behind me CNN is bleating about US ground troops
(grunts) being sent into "darkest Africa"
like The US Empire would dare save a few drachmas....
eh,U$D by ending our Endless Wars in Central Asia
and elsewhere (sigh)...are you old enuff to recall
the mythical Peace Dividend after the so called Cold War "ended'?
as for me i have now added Vertigo to my long
shopping lists of symptoms, the causes (per Google)
range from minor to crippling...yet another med to remember.
"ST. STEVE JOBS" (snark)
i worked at Moscone Ctr in frisco for almost nine years.
i first encountered Steve Jobs early one morn
screaming his guts out (post Apple firng & pre Pixar)
because the display for his start up NEXT COMPUTERS
(jet black if you recall them) was not Perfect.
luckily it was NOT part of my job to suck up to him.
a few years later,early 90s i think,
i was in the lobby of Moscone just chillin'
and watching other lower paid flunkies
humping their tasks. Jobs rolls up in a limo,
after his triumphant return to Apple,
so this must've beem MacWorld?
clad in his usual black tee and jeans
and attempts to walk thru the lobby...
now being an egotist and tantrum tosser
his mug is plastered all over the place
including on banners 30 feet long
hanging from all the rafters.
so this low wage flunkie/guard stops him
at the door...not knowing who he was.
couldn't be bothered looking up or
around him or looking at the flyers or limo i guess.
so Jobs pitches a fit and
FIRES THE ENTIRE APPLE ADVERTISNG
DEPT ON THE SPOT JUST BECAUSE THIS
ONE LOW PAID DOOFUS HAS NO IDEA WHO HE WAS.
i thot this was a joke until i saw people crying
and fleeing back to Cupertino to clean out their desks...
ah,it's good to be back.

Great insight ...and kind of the thing I usually prefer to NOT know. :)
ReplyDeleteI think there is a general principle that people who do great things are seldom great people. Or at least that's what I tell myself. Meaning, they accomplish great things because they are driven and focused, but that also makes them temperamental, intransigent, self-absorbed, insensitive and petty. ...Like, you can't make a proper cake without baking soda, but baking soda tastes like shit. :)
