urge to kill... rising...

Just got e-mail from the CEO:

In true Macromedia spirit, we want to make sure that we're taking some time out to have fun in the midst of driving 'business as unusual' and integration planning.

Please join us for drinks, appetizers and informal Q&A at 4pm at 601T in the Town Hall on...

• Thursday, July 7 is Mexican Fiesta (don't forget your Sombrero)
• Thursday, August 18 is Hawaiian Luau (don't forget your Luau gear)
• Thursday, September 15 is Irish Pub night (please forget your leprechaun outfit and just stick to green)

I'm sure all of my Mexican, Hawaiian, and Irish coworkers are just pleased as punch to be pigeonholed by some Canadian jarhead who just sold us out a couple of months ago.

> So I celebrate Ugly American day, where generally, I scratch myself, use the word "fuckin'" as a comma, treat everyone like shit, and spread flatulence wherever I go.

And if you actually put your money where your mouth is and did that, I would think that was funny in a dumb way, and actually a somewhat accurate depiction. So what's the problem?

You should note, by the way, that I'm a lazy, assimilating Filipino.

So you take my point... Actually, i just stand around being self righteous most of the time - it rarely helps, and does nothing to satisfy my soul, but being smug is it's own reward.

Funny, I had a conversation with a co-worker the other day in which we concluded that it's human nature to segregate - you get three brothers and isolate them, and two will gang up on one.

Listen, lazy Filipino - as a lazy Irishman I've noticed that virtually everyone in the world has a better work ethic than Americans - so what do you think they are on about?
