Here are a couple of pictures of my desk at work at my consulting assignment at CIGNA Corporation in Hartford, CT. These pictures were taken on September 26, 2003. As you can see there is quite a collection of sauces. The collection keeps growing and growing. The folks I work with are great and are always bringing in a new sauce to try.

Folks are always stopping by my desk and asking "so what's a good hot sauce to try?" Since everyone's tolerance for heat is different and many people are reluctant to try the hotter sauces, I came up with the Wheel of Misfortune. Give the pointer a spin and see where it lands! The "official" rules say you must try whatever sauce it stops on and if the pointer lands between two choices the hotter one prevails!

This was my desk at one of my software contracting assignments (SS&C Technologies) back around 1997. As you can see, I always keep an ample supply of hot sauce handy. The bottles are arranged from left to right according to their heat level. The hottest is on the right.
