ya look perplexed, mg.

a little. jay, do you have any idea what the hell a 'time pie' is?

hmm. sounds low-carb. some new delight at the cafeteria?

ha. probably that, too. but no. nina said something about it, mid-rant. that i was cutting mine wrong. i had flashbacks to two years ago when she kept getting that glazed look and talking about 'following your cheese' all the time, or whatever that book was.

oh! one of those! yes. it is a new book. i think it's called, 'slice your time pie... right!'

ha. yeah, that'd be a good one.

no, really. it's the new thing in management theory or whatever. like, you have a certain amount of time and it's like, well--

a pie?

yeah. i think that's the basic idea. and everyone has the same amount, but depending on how you, you know, 'slice' it...

and people are buying this?

looks like it. i saw one on the boss' desk the other day. and the authors were on all the morning shows last week. they had diagrams and charts and everything.

lemme guess, pie charts?

bingo.

sounds just retarded enough to be a bestseller.
