After seeing Ze give a lesson in communication skills, I’m afraid I may need to go back and reread a few of my e-mails. It may well be that people weren’t saying what I thought they were saying with all those emoticons.

You know, if Bill Cosby hadn’t sent House of Cosbys a cease and desist, I never would have seen these short cartoons. So, thanks Bill Cosby for making sure I see what you didn’t want me to see.

You know, I love my job. I know some people who don’t love theirs though. They should really go see the video on Really Bad Jobs.com. I think it would provide some needed perspective.
