About a year later after the premiere of that film I had transferred roles in Microsoft from Technical Account Manager to Applications Development Consultant. The role was basically the same but as a TAM I worked as a technical consultant for computer systems support issue and as an ADC for computer software development technical issues. I was adept with Microsoft Visual Basic and the Microsoft Office component object model automation. Mostly I was there to ensure that people in technical support would resolve satisfactorily the technical problems the companies I was assigned to, beginning with Microsoft Premier Support for Enterprise and then Microsoft Premier Support for Developers. Some of my peers were more of non-technical manager types while others were technical non-manager types and I thought of myself as somewhere in between, having worked for many years before in technical customer support, such as First Federal in South Carolina.
Oh right, and his manager. That is why I started writing about the following year. Sometime that following year Microsoft assigned that wormy pervert Kirk Tavener as the manager of the team of ADC's I was assigned to. He sort of resembles that "Holodeck" manager in the bank who has the rat-face. I was really annoyed after he showed me, back in 2002, during salary negotiations, that pornographic video titled "Priceless."
You get a real "Blade Runner" vibe from the early scenes I have watched, especially predictably with "Detective McBain," and you know right that there that is a bad sign. That a the classic sign of severe racketeers.
You also see there early on the same copyright thieves working there as in that severe racketeering production the 1996 film "Star Trek: First Contact."

We found him in an alley

Carved him up like a ham.
:10:24
Took everything: Wallet, credit cards.

Got a kick out of it.
