...first months on the job were a crash course in how the other half lives. Police shut down a methamphetamine lab a block from the school. Kids confided they slept under their beds to avoid bullets from drive-by shootings. So Douglas and her teachers and parents worked with police to clean things up. Prison inmates were bused in to sweep crack vials from the school playground. Parents cruised Southside armed with cell phones, ready to dial police at the first sign of trouble.

I figured the cure for my fiendish malaise would be easy to find at a company still worth billions in the wake of the tech crash, a company that recently spawned its own U.S. Senator (Maria Cantwell, the famous 50th Democrat and a former Real Jukebox product manager). All I'd have to do was look hard enough among the foosball tables and Odwalla juice fridges of this former cannery building. The place looked like someone...
