THE USER

POOL

The User Pool is a novel based on my experience in Information Technology in the 90's at one of the largest entertainment companies in Los Angeles. A satire and still a work in progress. The blog offers the best worst advice for personal growth and improvement.

The day Mulhausen shot the CIO in Weekly Staff was bad for worse reasons than that; it was also the day Blair found out I had sex with my wife.
