Straight from the Employee Handbook. . . .

I met a guy in a bar last night who told me that he worked as a tour guide for an Egyptian museum in San Jose. He said the people who ran the museum were "interesting."

"Interesting, how?" I asked.

"Well. . . .they're sort of spiritual," was his reply.

"Spiritual. . . . .?" I probed, trying to figure out exactly what he meant.

"Maybe New Age-y is a better way to describe them. Yeah. Definitely New Age-y."

My next question, of course, was what exactly made them so New Age-y.

"Well," he said,"I get all of the solstices off as holidays."
