There is a theory that holds that in the quantum universe every possible universe exists based off of the possibility of every possible offshoot of every possible decision ever made.  Dwell on that for a minute, then take a Tylenol. 

Me, if I had a quantum traveling machine I would go to the universe where through [...]

Dear Angry redneck that accosted me today:

No, sir I will not open another register.  From my perspective there are 2 registers open and roughly 4 people in each line.  You will be out of my store in less than 3 minutes.

The Gap is opening its first store in China.  Besides being a great move on a global scale, it also makes sense logistically.  Gap can now cut their shipping costs drastically, having their products delivered from the prison labor camps directly to the stores.  Nike applauds the move and in an unrelated story plans on [...]

I have tried to stop posting about work.  I find the posts to be tedious, narcissistic and banal.  There are other outlets besides this blog to complain about work (thanks, Jacqui).  BUT, but, I think a few recent events are worth noting.

Save-a-lot was bought a while back by Supervalue.  Since then the company culture has [...]
