Fresh Meat

I don’t usually bite on service contracts. They are the work of the devil; a scheme to chew extra dollars from the hides of customers. But this was a business expense, so my chewed hide was at least tax deductable. And now I get a live Apple tech for a midmorning snack!

On top of that, in one of those satisfying moments that drop into one’s snarling maw all too rarely, the scheduler tossed me a meaty straight line:

“So, what’s your calendar look like?” he asked.

(Who could resist?)

“Oh, you know. It’s a square thing with lots of boxes.”

The box that represents Tuesday morning now contains the name of the sacrifice. Look out, Gabe.

I’m sure you had the same thoughts and emotions watching that as I did: OMG! Those mullets!
