Today saw a strong showing in the ever-present attempt of my sub-conscious to inadvertently get myself fired. I single-handedly built an immaculate case against myself, completely ignorant of what I was doing at the time. The case is as follows:
Exhibit A: Caleb recalls the ordeal:
This afternoon, I was trying to launch an e-mail campaign that had been on hold because of various technical issues. The issues were finally ironed out, and we got approval from the client to send it out. Matthew S___, the account manager for this particular client was pulled into a meeting right after approval, but he said that he’d have his laptop with him, so he could check it and give the final thumbs up after I had it all tested and approved on my end.
Let the record show that Caleb had absolutely no idea what the meeting was regarding, who was involved, &c, &c.
A little while later, everything was set to launch the campaign save for Matthew’s final go-ahead, so I sent him an IM letting him know it was ready.
About 90 seconds later, he stepped out of the meeting, and walked very purposefully my direction with an expression that I couldn’t quite read. He leaned over my desk and chillingly said, “Dude… my computer was hooked up to the projector, so that popped up on the screen… and those are Jewish clients in there.”
Exhibit B: Transcript of the IM that Caleb sent Matthew:
Caleb: Hey, have you looked at the final tests yet?
Stuart signed off on them
And so did Jesus Christ himself
…
Yeah, that last part was a lie
The Prosecution rests.

Cabeeb is soon to change. This is necessary for several reasons.
1) In an attempt to boost the online presence of Fuor, of which I am a founding partner, we have all decided to revamp our blogs and become more active in the blogging world (ie blogosphere).
2) This design is pretty much a near-direct rip of another site originally meant only to be a temporary filler.
3) Cabeeb’s new layout will integrate my identity in several outside web-aps in one place and hopefully make the site more dynamic.
Stay tuned.

I’m a musically addictive person. I hear a new song that I like, or maybe rediscover a song that I’ve known for a while and I listen to it over and over and over and over.
And over. For instance, a few weeks ago, I got The Killers’ album, “Sam’s Town” and was subsequently addicted to “Why Do I Keep Counting?” Shortly after I heard it, I was in Escapé doing some work, and I listened to it over 15 times in a row.
This kind of thing happens all the time. As I documented a few months ago with “Cherry Blossom Color Season,” I listened to it over twenty times in one day.
Sometimes it’s more subtle, though no less severe. In these cases, I won’t necessarily listen to a song several times in a row, but I’ll somehow get it in my internal rotation, and I’ll listen to it at least a few times every day for weeks. Fortunately, this rarely causes me to get sick of a song as it would most normal people.
Ha ha. Normal.
