Go figure.

All [Corporation] Employees,

We are pleased to announce that the [HR Happy Fun Time Corner] system is now available for you to enter your 2013 Goals. Please work with your manager to enter individual goals that are tied to the 2013 Corporate Goals. As a reminder, the 2013 Corporate Goals are listed below …

While I would love to think that The Corporate HR Department has engaged in a subtle form of performance art satirizing the nature of mission statements as part of a April Fools' joke, the sad thing is—I think the HR department is serious, and it's the Exchange Server that is engaging in a subtle form of performance art.

Obligatory AI Disclaimer

No AI was used in the making of this site, unless otherwise noted.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
