I once heard, second-hand, of a computer programmer who said his job would be easy were it not for humans. President and CEO of Mission Hospitals Ronald Paulus once told a small group at UNCA that he had spent his first year at the hospital learning the ropes, things like who he could and could not trust. What a waste of talent.

In a similar vein, I hate fiction because the people are so dramatic, but today I was seeing a lot “truth in fiction.” In fact, it seems there is an epidemic of insane demands. Perhaps it is a side-effect of antidepressants or OTC metabolic enhancers. Of course, me mum said one knows one is insane when they think the rest of the world is crazy. While on the topic, the Asheville Police Department is once again shrouded in headline-scoring office cat fighting.
