Yes, I do have friends who hail from outposts far afield of the sheltered groves of academia. I got an e-mail last week from one who said:
> See the kind of exciting work you are missing by not being in the
> private sector?
Above a message forwarded from someone in his company with the subject line "Looking for something to do?" that read:
> I need someone to break the "W" insignia off of glass badger charms.
> We have 50 more to do. Thanks!
To which I replied:
In less friendly private sector jobs, this would be a trap and anyone
who responded by showing up to chisel away at the glass badger charms
would be summarily fired.
BTW, Can I blog this?
