Zzaarzarft

Names fascinate me. You’d be surprised the type of names people give to their off spring and Earthlings are no exception.

I understand Tom, Dick and Harry were at one time extremely popular but has now been superseded by Jack, James, William, Samuel & Joshua and the like.

On my home planet you cannot visit any dwelling without meeting at least someone with the name Evnbourbclox, Azulikeitapherupt, Lenasdtdew or Zzaarzarft. The last one being the name of the person whom without I would not be here right now.

Zzaarzarft, for all his eccentricities has been an invaluable aid through out my pre flight training for this mission. He is in charge of collaborating all the data I extract during my brief visit to your most beautiful planet.

He also what I believe some Earthlings refer to as a Techno Geek. A most unfair and inappropriate title to bestow on a person whose expertise and skill that is depended upon. We cannot all be wheelbarrow pushing drones with calloused palms from doing “a fair days work for a fair day’s pay!”

The definition of what exactly constitues a fair day’s pay tends to become a little obscure in the eyes of employers, just as employees will argue their onw interpretation of a fair days work. Somewhere lies a happy medium, where abouts beats the hell out of me.

I know this. It is a universal problem which seems without any solution even to.
It even has Zzaarzarft stumped. Not so high and mighty after all.

Stupid techno-Geek!
