A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

There are other reasons why I don’t post much anymore.

Three months ago, Yahoo! Photos

Director of Yahoo! Photos: So, I heard you made gay porn sites.

[Ernie spits out his morning latte, and then checks to see if the conference room directly across from him full of executives. Thankfully, the room is empty.]

Ernie: (I’m fired I’m fired I’m so fired)
Director: [a co-worker] told me about your weblog. I checked it today. Pretty funny stuff.
Ernie: (Did I write anything bad I don’t think I wrote anything bad how about any classified information no I don’t think I did)
Director: OK, back to work. Don’t forget the 1pm meeting today.
Voice over the cubicle wall: You fired yet?
Ernie: Uhm, don’t think so.
Voice: cool. [sound of keyboard typing]

Earlier tonight, Yahoo! Assasins

Manager: You know what the weird thing about blogging is, Ernie? I don’t know how bloggers have the time and energy to sit down and write a weblog post.
Ernie:
Manager: I’m not talking about you, of course.
Ernie: Of course.
Manager: I mean, I should know. I have your RSS feed on my My Yahoo! page.
Ernie: Uhm. You do?
Manager: Yep. Every time you write a weblog post, it notifies me. And you haven’t written much lately. That means we’re keeping you busy.
Ernie: Mmm. Good to know. [shifts in seat uncomfortably]

Hey, look up in the sky! It’s a giant microscope, and it’s looking right at me.
