This is my autobiography, the story of a life not unlike many others, except that I have carried within me from my earliest days a mental illness which at its worst is terrifying and debilitating, and at its best is a dark cloud which spreads its shadow over every aspect of my life.

Aesop's works aren't really outdated, but he wrote for a simpler time. He never had to deal with a cranky computer, a politically correct moron, a suffocating committee meeting, a manager who could not manage or a leader who has no idea how to lead. For those of us who do, or did, or one day might, here are fourteen fables which are more appropriate to living and working in the Third Millennium.
