Bill, IS Director: That fool is retiring this summer, I need to keep his
options "in the money" until his butt is out the door; if I get his job,
I'll start demonizing him as the cause of our Y2K problems as soon as his
name is off the parking space. If I don't get the promotion, I'll just
suck up to the new Big Cheese-head; good thing I have 4 years of status
reports in which I alert the company to the problem. I can't lose.
What's the worse that can happen? Even if the company goes bankrupt,
we'll just sell of pieces, a lot of human misery will result but
Bwahahaha, I still control the IT shop, know where the source is.

The March mailing should show up some time this week (except for 6
members, I know who you are so don't fret. The rest of you, WRP114
should put Y2K into perspective. I'm heading out to Hawai'i next month.
7-11 in Honolulu sells Spam Sushi, would I kid you?
