Since I started hanging out with bloggers, I have had to answer the question, "So, do you have a blog?" in the negative. Now I can proudly say, "Yes, yes! I do in fact have a blog. For I am a protestant! And, if the urge struck me, I could march down to the corner store and purchase a condom." - eBill (with thanks to Monty Python)

See 3PO Run

Circa September 2005

3PO is my company's Database Administrator (DBA). 3PO is a stereotypical DBA, i.e. he is one weird dude.

One day I happened to run into 3PO as he was exiting the building and I was returning. "Hey 3PO," I asked, "How's it goin?" The question was only intended to be a polite greeting in passing. However, 3PO takes everything entirely literally. "Oh, uh," he began, searching his internal database for a matching answer to my query, "I don't feel so good. I think I need to excercise more." I replied simply, "Run, then." Honestly, I was not the least bit surprised when 3PO took of running like a bat-out-of-hell.

The following Monday we gathered for our weekly status meeting. Our lead QA tech came in and sat down saying she had recently seen the damndest thing. She was returning from the mall late last week when suddenly 3PO came sprinting down the sidewalk for no apparent reason. Didn't wave or anything, just went tearing-ass down the sidewalk to nowhere in particular.

Dude is seriously weird.
