For a while I thought that half_pint is what is called in A Place I Will
Not Name a "froggery". That is, someone who is already pretty
familiar with the goings-on and uses an assumed name to push all the
well-known hot-buttons of the assembled company. But not sufficiently
outrageous (or several warps short of a mooring) to be universally
killfiled.
But a bit of Googling on the supposed email address shows it to be a
valid and published one. It also shows that half_pint has been using
that address this year in various computer-oriented fora.
The actual owner of the address is described like this on her company
website:
[redacted] Joint Managing Director, [redacted] UK
[redacted] has been with [redacted] for over 16 years, working
with a wide range of clients. Along with [redacted], she took on
the role of Joint Managing Director for the UK company in August 1998
and, at the same time, became a main Board Director. She is married
with two teenage sons.
Q. What was your first job? A. Management trainee for British Rail.
Q. What's the best and worst thing about your current job? A. The
best thing about working for [redacted] has to be working with
such a great group of people. The worst thing is that there are never
enough hours in the day.
Q. What do you consider is your best attribute? A. My friends tell
me I have an outrageous sense of humor. You need one to be me!
Q. Who do you admire? A. People who know exactly what they want and
organize their lives to achieve it.
Q. How has the company changed? A. Its growth. It's become huge and
world famous.
Q. What would you change about yourself? A. I'd get younger.
Q. How do you relax? A. You're kidding - with teenage boys?!
Q. What are your priorities? A. To enjoy life - it's not a
rehearsal!
So, the question still unresolved: is "half_pint" really the true
owner enjoying her "outragous sense of humour", or one of the teenage
sons who will be thankful that spanking is now illegal when his mum
finds out?
