Interesting news item - Apparently, a squirell broke into an asylum and dragged away several patients.
-Pause-
I'll start running now...

Re: !sllerriuqS
One thing I find somewhat annoying is when the bosses at the top of the company refer to us employees as "resources." I feel like they only think of us as things, like a piece of equipment to be used.

Beats some things....
Yeah.
Sometimes they're simply clueless.
Recently, the company I currently work for was concerned about the high turnover rate. So they had a meeting to try and figure out why. Five or ten of them got together in one of the training rooms, and discussed the matter over pizza and cake. They kicked the training class of about 30-40 out of the training room, and pushed them into the meeting room suitable for about 10.
And they wonder why turnover's so high.

Re: Beats some things....
The problem with people and power is some people, once they gain a certain amount of power, begin to feel they are entitled to it.
This leads to the thought that they have a right to exert that power, which leads to the thought that other people don't have the right to exert power against them, which leads to petty tyrants.

Re: Beats some things....
I recently learned that a billion is a different number depending on who you talk to.
In school, I learned that 1 billion = 1,000,000,000.
Apparently, it could also mean 1 billion = 1,000,000,000,000.
This must have caused a lot of confusion for people!

Re: assassination spells and stealty commanders/ar
In Europe, we refer to what you (across the great pond) refer to as a "billion" as a "milliard". A "billion" means "a million times a million", which makes more sense to me as "bi"=2, and our "billion" is a million squared.
Oh, and somehow I snatched up a subject from somewhere over on the Dom2 forums, or so it seems. I think it happened once before.

Re: assassination spells and stealty commanders/ar
Hey, there have been times where such little discrepancies have cost companies a fair chunk of change (contract spelled out the value via words, such as "three hundred fourty-seven million dollars, USD", rather than typing up the number, such as $347,000,000 USD), depending on where the contract details were arbitrated.....
