Everyone was wearing a red shirt. One who holds power demands that we serve him. What episode is this? We are re-orged by this hostile new life form. I alone survive. In Tuesday's meeting I was cowed. My manager had on a gold shirt. I think, "I know Kirk. I've written about Kirk. And you are no Jim Kirk." But I keep silent. No McCoy-ish outbursts here. Risk is not my business. In Wednesday's meeting I was bored. A red alert would have been welcome. But it was all talk. Just as boring as Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Do they play Buzzword Bingo in the Twenty-Third Century? They must. In Thursday's meeting my Trek joke bombed. In my mind, I Charlie X'd them. Then I made up facts And data that made no sense Just like Mr. Spock. I would love to play a game of Fizzbin with this strange new management. No meeting today. I work at home, out of reach of Starfleet Command. Decision required. Advisers useless. Look! My "What Would Kirk Do" shirt. Advice from a shirt? Why not? The prime directive can go to hell. HA! Next week I command the USS XML. Five years easily. I'm the Captain Kirk on this. The rest will follow later. Mere Picards. [The End] NOTE: This is dedicated to a woman I worked for many years ago who would assign people to investigate new processes or technologies by saying, "You're the Captain Kirk of this. All the Picards will follow later." -- Stephen Ratliff ASC Awards Tech Support http://www.trekiverse.us/ASCAwards/commenting/ No Tribbles were harmed in the running of these Awards ASCL is a stories-only list, no discussion.
