Month: April 2004

Suw “Chocolate and Vodka” Charman watched my review as she had dinner and took a lot of screenshots, including this one:

“On second thought, we’re both fired.”

Ross: So, would you like to start off by making a statement?

Me: As a matter of fact, I would.

Ross: Go ahead.

Me: I would like to warn you

that I have taken some special precautions. If at any point I find that

I do not like the way the review is going, I have a sniper who’s taken

a position in the rafters who will shoot you.

Ross: I’m going to call you bluff and kick your ass to the curb. You are now the former Technical Community Development Coordinator, my friend.

Me (into hidden lapel mic): Blofeld to Jaws: Eliminate Mr. Bond.

Ross: You don’t scare me with your fakety-fake “supervillain” act, Mister Accodion Chu–ACK!

Thanks to Andy “termie” Smith for the pic!

The review went pleasingly well, and I’ve got some cool directives for the upcoming year. As mentioned in the previous posting, it was all visible (if not audible) thanks to the webcam posted on Boss Ross’ desk.

Alan McLeod from GenX at 40 caught this great still from the webcam, during the part of the review where all Tucows employees must perform their best Stevie Wonder impression:

“My cherie amour…lovely as a summer’s daaaaaaay…”

Today is Annual Review Day here at Tucows, and Boss Ross

is among those doing reviews. Boss Ross, in case you’re not aware, is

the Director of Research and Innovation, a crack team made up the

following people:

• Ross Rader
• Darryl Green
• Joey deVilla

Hey man, I didn’t say it was a big team.

Anyhow, if you want to see how they’re going, check out the webcam image either on Ross’ blog or below. Alas, there is no audio.

My review takes places at 2:00 p.m. EDT. Watch Darryl squirm at 3:00 p.m. EDT.
