HELLO CHLOE

http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/56d057bedd0895fb178b4603-1097-823/chloe-is-behind-glass-so-you-communicate-with-her-through-a-touchscreen-computer-she-looked-at-me-with-a-bright-face-as-i-began-to-browse-through-the-movie-selection.jpg
Just how long did you think it would be?

First, it was robots asking you over your cell phone if the choice you just made was a yes or no and then robot guided checkouts at the supermarket. How long did you think--should you ever trouble your gray matter to consider such things--before Chloe showed up?

While most of you were still waiting for Godot, like a skillful pitcher, they slipped another inside fastball by you, just nicking the strike zone part of the plate. The count's now 0 and 2 with two down and you have nobody on base.

Notice also that it's always those lowering paying jobs that suffer the latest juggernaut move, the same people our esteemed politicos claim to care so much about. It's one of those long distance love affairs: you keep your distance and they'll keep their love.

You can forget Dolly. Say hello to Chloe on your way out of a job.
