Uncomplicate
March 08, 2004
David Alexander wants to profit from my brilliance. “Write me a story,” he said. Because he lies so prettily I agreed to write him something uncomplicated and mildly pornographic for his fiction anthology.
I didn’t start writing my story yet — I’ve been spending nearly all of my time finishing my ClubLaurier Editor-in-Chief platform. Over the weekend I spewed out 21 pages of laborious writing and I’m only halfway done. Why am I complicating things?

The more complication there is the easier it is to get away with something that should not be allowed.

I submit two days late and he FLIPS, you submit at SOME POINT IN THE IN.DEFINITE FUTURE, and he’s glee-full.
TERROR.

Goddammit Tudor, some of us have to read it, for chrissakes. Well, at least you’ll get an A for effort.

Besides, I included an executive summary and a conclusion to make it easier to skim through the entire proposal (you just have to read the beginning and the end, and none of the stuff in between).

If he neglects to read the content by taking the escape route of reading the executive summary he will not be able to to say/write “I didn’t approve of that” when in fact he did!
Complicated systems increase the ability to be sneaky!
You and your delightful complicatedsystemes!
