    Rockstar always gets me.

    “Okay, so is it cool if I roll out of bed around noon, pound a 40, and come to work for a few hours while expecting a high salary and constant praise?”

    “No, of course not.”

    “Then, in your own words, why don’t you tell me what you think a rockstar is. Is the rockstar in the room with us right now?”

        Hey, as long as you’re a good coder, I don’t care how high you are. Though I’ll need to find a way to explain the new “Misc” category in my budget.

          You’ve done your company a great service, and we thank you and we trust you found the compensation satisfactory.

          Oh, the money’s fine.

          The situation’s totally unacceptable.

          Well, gentlemen, I guess that just about wraps it up.

          Where is the miscellaneous account?

          I thought we’d settled that.

          The miscellaneous account is somewhere very safe.

          From whom?

          The account is a source of important funding and it has to be internally audited.

          And it will be, I assure you, Mr. Brody,

          Dr. Jones.

          We have top men working on it right now.

          Who?

          TOP…MEN
