Macondo

(US HISTORY) sector of the Gulf of Mexico seabed in which the Deepwwater Horizon was drilling. The name, assigned long before the platform was erected, is an example of dramatic irony. On 20 April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon blew out*, killing eleven crew members; over the next 12 weeks the wreckage spewed some 4 million bbls of crude oil into the ecologically sensitive region off the coast of Louisiana and Mississippi.

Properly known as the Macondo Prospect, or MC 252 (for "Mississippi Canyon"). Name comes from the fact that major rivers have large, deep underwater canyons on the ocean floor beyond their deltas. Macondo Prospect is formally owned by the Federal Bureau of Land Management (US BLM), and leased to British Petroleum by the {former} Minerals Management Service.

__________________________________
* "blew out" = past tense of "blow out"; rupture of an oil well, particularly at the well head.
The name Macondo is the same name as the fictitious cursed town in the novel *One Hundred Years of Solitude* by Colombian ... writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Oil companies routinely assign code names to offshore prospects early in the exploration effort. This practice helps ensure secrecy during the confidential pre-sale phase, and later provides convenient names for casual reference

Macy's

An institution where countless bright professionals accidentally drop by and sacrifice their career, sanity, will to live, happiness, and financial gain.

Workplace Environment: All the senior executives refuse to leave their post, retire, or advance to another position. Many of them had same job/title for over 10 to 20 years. (yet they waste countless work hours on succession planning twice a year)

Their idea of executive training is to delegate insane amount of work to few bright talents until they leave the company. (Some lose their mind and actually pretend they are Joker from Batman movies......)

Rumors say many new executives out of school made more money working at local McDonald's while in school compared to their Macy's salary.

Bonus = Macy's money.

Benefits: Must work in the store once a yr (one actually moved boxes at loading dock in a CK suit). Annual deduction (guilt trips) from welfare salary for United Way. (they set aside this deduction and later classify as Misc income when earnings fall short...)
Macy's never have to have any layoffs.....employees voluntarily leave every month. It is the only company in America still hiring when everyone else is under hiring freeze.
