NOTICE: FALSE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN PREVIOUS POST

On Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 2 a.m., you were instructed to set your clocks back one hour in recognition of the beginning of Daylight Savings Time.  This information was wrong.  What you should have done was set your clocks FORWARD one hour, not backward.


We now request that all readers of this updated post set their clocks forward TWO hours to account for the misleading information provided in the previous post.  In other words, if you read this post at 7:00 a.m., the actual time you are reading this post is 9:00 a.m., and you should adjust your clocks accordingly.  If, however, you find yourself reading this post at 9:00 a.m., then you're really reading it at 7:00 a.m. and need not worry.

FSRI Pulls Regional Headquarters Out of Libya

Bowling Green, KY - The FSRI (Faking Smart! Research Institute) announced early this morning, from its branch media locus in Bowling Green, Kentucky, that due to an escalation in violence and lack of regional stability it is withdrawing all but essential staff from its Tripoli offices.

"This decision was based on serious consideration of the safety and well-being of our staff," said Ella Foster, FSRI VP of Media Relations.  "What we don't want is to see one of our HR people drawn inadvertently into a civil war," she said.  "That's plain and simple bad for business..."

When asked if the FSRI has enjoyed the favoritism of the Libyan strongman, Muammar Qaddafi, over the past several years, Ms. Foster was quick to respond: "The FSRI has always had a policy of remaining neutral when it came to Qaddafi. That Qaddafi has been an advocate of the FSRI and a gracious host to many banquets and polo events in our honor has never influenced our working relationship with either Qaddafi or his regime.  Nor has his vast reserves of sweet crude had anything to do with our close ties. That Qaddafi has demonstrated psychotic fugues and exercised the wonton slaughter of thousands of his countrymen has also had no bearing on our judgement of the Libyan leader's business etiquette or corporate style."

When asked if the FSRI plans to return to Libya after the unrest has abated, Ms. Foster added this:  "When Libya wants the FSRI back, we will be there.  When the people of Libya have spoken, they will have said something with intent, and that's what we've come to appreciate about Libyans.  They know what they're saying and when they're saying it."


The FSRI staff has established temporary headquarters in Monaco while events in Libya continue.

Decateur's Official Interview with Karl Wolfbrooks Ager

Today I got a chance to sit down and talk with the renowned Karl Wolfbrooks Ager about his new book, Faking Smart! Get Hired, Get Promoted and Become a V.P. in Six Short Weeks-Guaranteed!  So why don't I stop rambling on and get right to the interview...


DECATEUR: So, Dr. Ager, you've got this book called Faking Smart!...  Explain what it's about.

KWA: I want to begin by thanking you for talking with me today, Decateur.  It's a privilege to be here.

DECATEUR: No problem, man.

KWA: As for what the book is about, let me just say that it is the greatest effort to date in my career to begin the process of revolutionizing the world of business.  In a sense, when writing this book I cast out a gossamer net into the winds and collected what I believe was the global zeitgeist regarding the way business would be trending in the coming years.  This book is a prophesy ... a means of showing the way forward for entry-level employees in the century to come.

DECATEUR: So I see that it's 146 pages...  How did you decide on that specific number?

KWA: I didn't decide on it beforehand.  That the book came to 146 pages was immaterial.  What is important is that it's just big enough to to fit in the greatest ideas I've had and to present them in a simple and straightforward method... one that anybody should be able to understand and begin to implement in their lives.  Contained in each chapter is a step in a program that will transform a typical entry-level worker into a self-empowered corporate success.

DECATEUR: And what about the pictures?

KWA: What about the pictures?

DECATEUR: You have pictures in the book, but not a lot.  Did you think about using more pictures to make it easier to read?

KWA: I'm afraid I don't understand the question.  Are you saying there aren't enough pictures in the book?

DECATEUR: I guess so...  I don't know.  I mean, it's just like there seems like a lot of words in it.

KWA: Did you read the book, Decateur?

DECATEUR: Ah, yes.  I had a chance to thumb threw it before we sat down.

KWA: This is a waste of time.

DECATEUR: You can say that again...

KWA: This is ridiculous.  I'm insulted.  We're done...

DECATEUR: Whatever, dude...  Don't forget your pipe.


So, that was the interview with Dr. Ager.  As you can tell I was pretty nervous being it was my first interview and all that.  But I think it went pretty well.

Decateur -- out!
