I feel by now you’re used to me describing the considerably MERCURIAL habits of our boss, Mr/Dr Soderbergh, however this most up-to-date growth is subsequent degree and may’t be stored to myself for causes you’ll quickly perceive. This very morning, our fearful chief defined that in three days (July seventeenth for many who don’t need to do the mathematics) we will probably be “dropping” a collection of some kind known as COMMAND Z. If I appear hedgy, it’s as a result of A) None of us have seen it; and B) it’s apparently about ninety minutes lengthy, however there are eight episodes of various size, so is it an precise collection or only a film lower up into items? Frankly, I don’t care as a result of what this implies IN THE REAL WORLD is these of us within the Achievement Middle (aka The BB, aka BLOFELD’S BASEMENT) are about to get some heavy site visitors and oh, did I occur to inform you I ALSO RUN THE I.T. DEPARTMENT?

And admittedly, with the completely insanity that you simply simply noticed and examine, who wouldn’t?
