In addition, Kibbey offered me a new name and identity, with a new drivers license and everything, if I were to go back to work at Giganews. What? Why? The whole story seems disjointed.

Yeah, that's where my BS detector started beeping. How would a new identity help if he were going to be working with the same people face-to-face? This line is also phrased very oddly: I've linked pictures of my Giganews badge and the shirts with their red armor logo I was forced to wear when working there. Forced? So, it was a uniform? I've worked at a department store, and I wouldn't use the phrase "forced" because they required me to wear a name badge.

  If you try hard enough, you can find a dystopian police state anywhere you want.

Yea seriously, If everyone at Giganews is in on it why the hell did he need a new identity?

Well, and this: > It was then that I realized that the fed I was talking to had been my coworker at Giganews since I started in 2009! I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I would instantly recognize any coworker I'd known for three years.

  A lot of this story suggests that a diagnosis of delusional paranoid schizophrenic seems plausible. They are also have issues with reasoning abilities, thus the disjointedness.

  The word coworker can mean a lot of things. I worked at a company of 14,000 and while technically they would all be my coworkers, I probably would struggle to recognize more than 100 of them that I sat in the same room as every day. I've met more than a few "coworkers" from that company who drove a semi in Florida for the company while I worked five states away in an office. Even at my current company with ~100 employees, damn if I could recognize the accountants just by seeing their face out of context.

That made no sense to me when I read it. It would be a great bit on SNL though: Coworker: "Hey Nick, when did you color your hair. . .and. . get glasses?" Nick: "You must have me mistaken with some other employee, I'm not Nick Caputo, here, look at my ID." Coworker: "Nick, dude, I know its you, you're the only guy I know who has a Zelda tattoo on their wrist." Nick: "Like I said, you have me confused with someone else" hurries away in opposite direction I was actually starting to believe this story, then he hit me with that little diddy and it was all downhill from there.
