Today I'm doing something a bit different than what we're used to. I'm reading an article written by someone else. This one is by Wendell Ricketts, and it's meant to be taken as satire with a few lessons to be learned by those in our line of work. Please be warned that the contents have been slightly changed to fit the audiovisual format and that the opinions expressed here are the author's, not necessarily mine, but I do agree with a lot of what he talks about.

Here's the link to the original article:
