Extreme Telecommuting in the News!

Proving that there's still a market for needless bombast and cheesy puns, the San Jose Mercury News saw fit to publish an article I wrote about the Extreme Telecommuting Experience in their Sunday travel section on April 9th, 2000. Didja miss it? You can still check it out online, but it'll cost ya a buck ninety-five. The high cost of Extreme Telecommuting just keeps getting higher.

Extreme Telecommuting on the Radio!

Tired of reading the same old bad puns, random inanities, and total fabrications here on the Office Odyssey? Looking for something new? Why not try listening to the same old bad puns, random inanities, and total fabrications in RealAudio? Yes, it's true -- we did an interview on The Computer Report, a show emanating out of Lowell, Massachusetts and broadcast on WCAP 980 AM. We were on Sunday, November 28th, at 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. Did you sleep through the whole thing? You can check out the archived RealAudio file and hear just what you missed. You'll need the free RealPlayer to hear it, though (you can get it at http://real.com). Once the audio stream starts to load, you can use the slider bar at the top of the RealPlayer to scan forward to about the 1:01 hour mark (it's a looong clip) to hear our segment.

More Huzzahs For The Odyssey

Hey, we won another award! Some nuts in the U.K. decided this site was actually pretty good, so they saw fit to bestow their coveted "No Bull#@$!" award upon our undeserving heads. If you're over 18, click here to see our schmancy new award logo.

Looking for an easy way to earn college credits? Want to edge just a little bit closer to that G.E.D.? Your Masters in Business Administration? Help is closer than you think.

We're officially approved for an audience of 10th Grade and above! Yep, the Office Odyssey is more than bad puns, twisted syntax, and awkward metaphors -- it's also educational!
