I’m deeply offended that nobody took a picture of me with the chicken.
It would’ve been poultry in motion.

Hmmm, I always thought the official beverage of IA was
serial cups of black coffee, brought back to the
project room, the last in the series cooled past
tepidity to the point you could barely tolerate it if
your long-sleep-deprived body didn’t crave every last
molecule of caffeine so badly..

Weak tea used to be a problem in IA. Until I came to Argus.

Argus had a ritual of having tea every Friday afternoon. But good heavens—they heated the water in a microwave and used tea bags. Heresy!

I donated an electric kettle (imported from my native Canada) and bought loose tea, banishing this IA sin.

Except at conferences where hotels and restaurants spend billions to import expensive coffee beans and make fancy desserts, yet serve the same tea you get at McDonald’s.

It’s a little known fact that Argus closed so we could more effectively spread the good tea gospel throughout the IA world.

The commandments:

1. Use loose tea.

2. Unless the water boiling be, vain the attempt to make the tea.

Isn’t weak tea and sand dabs the official meal of IAs?

You should be grateful you even got rubbery chicken at lunch, at least on Sunday.

(And actually, Brenda, since I was sitting next to you at lunch, I know you were…. :-)

At least the soup dishes were attractive, even if they were never used for more than catching bread crumbs.

Rubbery chicken at lunch… rubbery chickens in the hallway… I’m sensing a connection here, can’t quite put my finger on it…

I suffered a lot of chicken trauma in my youth in Iowa. You have to understand… FLASHBACKS!
