I think I'm having a late 90's flashback

[Remster 24]

1st, it was the guy with 5 shelves full of M&M's dispensers.

Then, it was the 38 inch LCD we got just before the Wold Cup.

Then, it was the fuzball table.

Now, my General Manager got us a 47" HDTV LCD with a Wii.




Is it the IT late 90's bubble again?

I came in here expecting the flashback from too much acid story or something similar...

Sounds like the budget has to get spent or lost!

Not even that! We're on a April 1st - March 31st Financial year! lol

Dude, the web is so bleeding edge we don't even NEED profits anymore.

In the late '90's "Wired" magazine ran a lengthy article by some ivory-tower intellectual explaining how all the rules had changed, and business success no longer depended on profits, blah, blah, blah. I read it, and when I was done my eyeballs were spinning and my head hurt. I decided that either:
a) I was too dense to understand.
b) I had just read the printed counterpart to masturbation.

Never really decided which was true...until about 2001.
Damn, I wish I still had a copy of that article!

I remember thinking when companies like kozmo.com were around "this isn't going to last." But damned if I wasn't going to ride that gravy train as long as I could. "So you're saying that you'll bring me a pint of Ben & Jerry's ... and nothing else ... and it'll cost the same as if I went over to the 7-11 myself to get it?"

Damn, do I work for the wrong place. They just got rid of the gift you get for every 5 years of service to save money.

I think they're replacing it with smacking you in the face with a half rotten fish every year instead.
