THANK YOU. truly.

K.

i mean, it wasn’t because i do a bad job. by all accounts, i do a FANTASTIC job. i do the work of a hundred men, i work miracles, etc.

and it’s not that i’m super expensive - my salary was slightly below average for my position in san francisco. and when i switched from employee to contractor, i cost the lab even less.

and it can’t be because i’m a contractor and not an employee. that cannot be the reason, because (a) i never wanted to switch to a contractor but i was forced to when the lab screwed up, and (b) when i did switch and was worried the switch might endanger me in any future layoffs - my exec assured me i’d be judged by performance and not status.

so it’s a mystery.

and damn, i gotta say, that sucks. because i really do love second life. SL is the coolest thing on the planet - the world we’ve all built is literally incredible - beyond belief.

but maybe things happen for a reason - and maybe i can do more good for SL on the outside than the inside.

let’s see.

it’s funny what you find while cleaning your digital attic.

herein contained digital blueprints for the construction of mechanical squid death machines.

and at a resolution perfect for poster printing.

in my office (in the real world) i have a window into my office (in the virtual world.) it stays open 24/7, so when i’m at my desk, i can see my desk.

similarly, in my office (in the virtual world) i have a window into my office (in the real world.)

depending on your point of view, the result can be disorienting.
