Over in the pig-pile of overcaffinated thinking at Metafilter there's currently a long and perhaps surfworthy discussion of the five-finger discount happening. That's all well and good, but we're hurt that no one there has mentioned what we think is perhaps the only memoir on the subject done in Power Point, which debuted here many months ago.
As we sit here looking at a packet of post-its that we can't remember purchasing -- and thus were almost certainly, at some point, rescued from where they languished, purposeless, in the depths of an office-supply cabinet -- we are certainly in no position to judge or weigh in on the issue. But we like reading the arguments anyway.

Not that liberating office supplies qualifies (no; *that* is merely an employee-instigated Xmas bonus readjustment), but you seem like such a nice young man, and yet, if there's an emergent shoplifting literature about to happen, your avantest-guarde, if ya follow.
Speaking of which, I headed off to C.21 today to be their first shoplifter of 2002 (almost took a Clinique "Soothing Lotion for Agitated Complexions" sampler, but I'm losing my nerve)... the point is, it's not renovated! It looks the same, except it's sunny on the west side of the building for a downer-change.
Moving on to other topics, how'd it go at a-think?
