Work Return: Beginning

By R. Richard

Later, I get called in by my Data Specialists top management and I am quizzed by my big bosses as to why Cary’s project is in big trouble.
I do a quick review of the project computer code for Cary's project, that Data Specialists has somehow obtained. I discover a few very poor techniques in the computer code that Cary’s project is using. I point out that Cary’s project is using some iterative processes that don’t require a lot of computer storage, but do require a lot of computer execution time. Also Cary’s project is using sub optimal equation evaluations, that result in divide by zero problems.
I am then quizzed about Billy’s work. I point out that Billy's work looks something like what a not very bright first year high school student might produce.
My new Data Specialists top management then point out that Billy has a Masters Degree and is working on a PhD.
I ask, “A PhD in what?”
The answer is, a PhD in business administration.
I say, “You have several MBAs, Master of Business Administration, here at Data Specialists. You don’t use any of them in computer programming work. Why not?”
The answer is, “A Master of Business Administration degree has little application in computer programming.”
I ask, “Then why is the Lozenge Corporation using a Master of Business Administration degree candidate as a computer programmer?”
The answer is, “Good question.”
My review by my Data Specialists top management then ends.

I'm the co-author, with Sunset Thomas, of Anatomy of An Adult Film.I have 48 novels and over 299 short stories currently published.I spent my early years in the part of Los Angeles known as the South Central. I was known as Whi' Boy, which was sufficient to identify me in that place. I'm a skilled Kung Fu player, using a system that I learned from a Korean I knew only as 'Pak.' It would be easier to tell you the places that Pak wasn't wanted by the police, rather than the places where he was wanted by the police. Pak's Kung Fu system, augmented by some bits and pieces from some Chinese practitioners is quick and effective, or I wouldn't be alive today.My early education was mostly obtained by stealing books from the public library (I always returned them and the Librarian even began to provide me with reading lists.) I did go to high schools, but I never really learned anything there. I eventually graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA, with a degree in mathematics.I work as a Systems Analyst and also make a part of my living as a professional gambler (legal in Nevada.) I write science fiction and erotica. My published novels are:Anatomy of An Adult Film (With Sunset Thomas)1. Second Chance: God Killer2. Second Chance: Sky Pirate3. Second Chance: Scroll Seeker4.

Chapter 1: A Dark Path

My story really starts back when I was in high school. I was a good student and I was thus able to get into a magnet school, type of thing. My main area of skill was math. My weakest area was my being a good student and a poor boy. In the magnet school, I found that I was the top math student, even with a lot of competition. As a top math student, I could win a college scholarship that was the only way I could really pay for a college diploma that I needed, to get the kind of job that I wanted.

To win a college scholarship with math would not have been a big problem, it was the rest of the classes. In order for me to memorize the total crap high school class material that I was not not interested in, I had to work 60 to 70 hours a week. I would work until I began to lose concentration and then I would work out until I was physically exhausted, then it was back to memory training. At my graduation from high school, I had won a crap college scholarship, but no friends. In fact I had won several enemies. I was the brain kid and it was good fun for the boys to physically push around the brain kid.

One of the stated goals of my high school education was to broaden my social horizons. How in the hell could I broaden my social horizons when I was working 60 to 70 hours a week memorizing lies? What I wanted was to be left alone to learn the math that would earn me a good living for the rest of my life, plus I wanted to kill the entire liberal arts high school faculty.

To continue to maintain my college scholarship with just the math that I needed would not have been a big problem for me, it was again the rest of the classes that were the problem. In order for me to memorize the crap liberal arts class material, I
