ABSTRACT
St. John had taken to moping around and losing interest in just about everything. It was his personal life that was dragging him down. One of St. John’s friends at Microsoft was Ken Fowles—one of the people who had originally interviewed him during his hiring loop. The stories of Microsoft’s early displays of wealth reminded Don Coyner, who had worked in marketing at Nintendo, of time when Nintendo of America’s president Minoru Arakawa visited Atari at its height. The cops were having a great time with Hummer and even when St. John admitted to driving intentionally off road into this parkland, they didn’t ticket him. When the first tow truck was too small to handle the Hummer, a larger one was called in. And all the while, St. John’s co-workers from Microsoft are very slowly passing by, gawking at his vehicle covered in grass and mud and goo.
