Curious... a friend of mine sent me an article entitled Is Your Boss a Psychopath? (now, now, no leaping to conclusions, here). It looks at the place of corporations in society, and considers the idea of applying the eminent Dr. Robert D. Hare's Psychopathy Checklist to leaders in the workplace. (Me, I immediately thought of someone else....)
Go read, it's an intriguing article.
And in other news... I got to find out what a concentrator [2] [3] is supposed to do in a LAN, because ours stopped working while I was on vacation. (I didn't even know we HAD one, much less what it was for.) And before my multiple techie friends leap to my rescue-- problem already dealt with. It was a redundant piece of equipment, part of the old LAN that was still being used 'cause there was no point in NOT using it, until it stopped working. But we'd since added a whole pretty new switch panel, so I can just take all the lines off the concentrator and plug them into the switch, and all will be happy and content in libraryland once more. ^_^ (Until the next time I try to go way far away.)
