Who's this dignified fellow with great hair? Why it's Noah Webster of Webster's Dictionary fame, that's who.
I've chosen to post his likeness because today we need to provide a definition.
I knew this day would come, and I am willing to step up to the plate. But I need help.
Last night I received an e-mail from a student at NYU.
(I'd like to point out that this is the second college student who has e-mailed me about this blog. Is Peon Confidential on some sort of educational resource list?)
Anyway, this student wrote:
"I love your blog...I read almost all your posts, but there's one thing I don't get. What's the deal with Roz?"
Well well well...
What IS the deal with Roz?
The short story is that she was a bitchy/funny/rude CNN cafeteria employee with a cool accent.
The long story is that she was a legend, a mascot. A beacon of hope. She was a symbol of the old school, mom n' pop vibe at CNN. A victim of corporate injustice and apathy.
She was a lover and a fighter.
She knew when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em and when to run.
She was like the wind through my tree.
Anyone else have something to add?

Sweet Roz-aline ... BUH BUH BUHHHH
Tetrazzini never tasted so good.
Her name was Roz-a,
She was a cafe girl,
With tetrazzini in her hair
and her apron cut down to there,
she'd do her crosswords and insult-ya
And while she tried to be a star,
Albert tended the sandwich bar
Across the linoleum floor
They worked from 8 to 4
They were rude and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

Insults and Heartburn were always in fashion
