I’m not Comcastic

The other day I went to my local liquor store to get my fix. As I was checking out the guy behind the counter asked if I was still at [tag]Comcast[/tag]. I’ve had this discussion many times before and it goes something like this:

Liquor guy: Do you still work at Comcast?

Alex: No, I have never worked there, I work for…

Liquor guy: Oh, what do you know about DVRs?

Alex: Not much, I don’t have one.

Liquor guy: Well I’m trying to blah, blah, blah…

Alex: Hmm, try blah, blah, blah…

Liquor guy: Ok see you later.

Alex: Cya.

Since this has happened numerous times before I decided to play along. “No” I say “I’m at … now”. “Oh” he says “What do they do?” “Make enterprise software” I respond. “Wow, better than Comcast, huh?” he declares. “Yep” I remark as I smile and walk out the door.
