Outlook Overload



Please view the video intro first and then imagine that Rod is still talking when you are read this.
Heed the warning all you OCD’ers. Yes, you who are managed by the time, day, month, year, and your Microsoft Outlook Suite. Yee, who may be controlled by the schedule, schedule, and the schedule. You believe that your life is nothing but a series of events that fit neatly along a timeline. It is all about the routine, routine, and the routine., isn’t it? You know who you are……take heed and take warning……..”That that controls you only serves to mess you up in the end.” Bill Gates.
Consider the saga of one Michael Huey Dubois, one who is a aforementioned (controlled by his Outlook Suite) OCD’er (aka Outlook Controlled Demon, but, really Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) stuck in that vortex of time when he travels out with his woman (putting her through hell) for 10 hours (575 miles give or take a couple) from Houston, Texas to Destin, Florida.
He is in Destin for an important business meeting on the company’s dime. He settles in to enjoy Labor Day after his nightmarish travel through the winds, rain, and saga of Hurricane Gustav only to find out that his Outlook Calendar has let him down…..you see…..the meeting isn’t till next week. Some would fault Outlook, some would say he is a dumbass, I on the other hand, prefer to say that he is incredibly ate up with his new woman and has lost all sight of time and day.
Dube is forced to return home (10 hours, 575 miles, remember) to complete the week’s work only to come back, next week.
Sounds like a great episode of “The Twilight Zone”.
Viva Michael Huey Dubois, O. C. D.

Peace Upon You
