Common sense is obviously not common around here. I still can't get over how many stupid people there are in this city.
Unfortunately the stupidity is not limited to Tracy. A coworker of mine who lives in sf, who will never be on one of my projects again, lefts his laptop in his car on an sf street and lost 6 months of valuable R&D work. It probably ccost 1 to 2the million in lost revenue due to a delayed product launch due to his idiocy.
