Part of our supposed success here at FTI is our ability to stay technologically current and aware of the various tools to transmit our message. Despite the repeated failures, goof-ups, and outright bungling by the FTI IT department, the most reviled department here at FTI, somehow we manage. A case in point: my recent acquisition of a new cellular "smart" telephone.
The cheap-assed Board of Directors recently authorized the purchase of a Droid smart phone. With all of the "apps" available, my life can be managed, enhanced, entertained, and made easier all with this small device. Overwhelmed by the stench at the FTI sewage lagoon and not able to think clearly in order to move elsewhere? Simple. Press the app for the compass and map feature and navigate yourself away. Unsure how to tie a necktie for the upcoming FTI Doofus Induction Banquet/Yard Sale? There is an app that gives step by step directions for tying both a Windsor or Four in Hand knot. Or, and this is a biggie, unsure of where the nearest FAST FOOD PLACE IS LOCATED!? Reach out to your smart phone and it can locate it for you.
A lot of this seems silly, juvenile, and a time waster. I'm talking about the phone apps. Not this site.
