Recently I got Spam that had the following generated text at the bottom:

"Would it be a problem if I'm angry most of the time?"

"What are the zodiac signs of all the board members?"

`Yes,' said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of The Leopard".'"

`Why, what did she tell you?'

The first question is deceptively tricky: Yoda has already covered why anger is unhealthy at both a personal and cosmic level. Nevertheless, various states of anger and frustration seem to be the new professional status quo. This is especially true in those places where employers have used rightsizing as a justification for overworking the people who remain. They should have called it "left sizing" as in "if you are left after the layoffs, you are probably so grateful to be working that you will do anything."

The second question is needlessly rhetorical. Sure, there have been lots of corporate scandals. Moreover, it can seem hard for the rank & file worker or the small investor to understand the thinking process of the elites, but the snarky Nancy Reagan reference changes nothing.

The random Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference is always funny. 42.

The third question (fourth sentence) is typical gossip baiting.

These text strings, created specifically to break spam filters, result in a message which is not less meaningful than most of the email sent to me by actual colleagues. With this depressing realization, I surrender to the robots; similar to how they did in 2nd Renaissance - Part 2.

Save us all, Keanu.
