Depression

Good-bye, dear readers (even if you don't exist). I'm going to be trapped in a horrid little crevasse between two mountains for two days. There will be no internet for two days.  And, to make matters worse, there is no cell phone reception in this crevasse. At all. 
It was nice enough, once upon a time... Before the ability to text was given to me. 
I'm going to die.

Pray for me, readers. If I don't die, I shall at the very least be suffering from severe withdrawal. Itchy thumbs. Twitchy fingers. 

It really is a nice little crevasse. It's green, wet, and isolated. All excellent traits in a crevasse. But I doubt that I shall be able to get past the no-internet-no-reception issue... 
At least I'll still be able to charge my phone and mp3 player... 
Maybe I should try airplane mode. That would help with the thumb problem...

So Au Revoir. Until the happy day of return to civilisation...

this is the initial burst of blogging

It is highly doubtful that I will continue blogging at this frenzied pace, but I figured that it's like orientation at work. You spend 9 hours staring at a computer screen on the first day. You are expected to remember everything that you read on said computer screen(s). Then you do it again the next day.
Employee orientation sucks. Plain and simple.

Really the only thing that I wanted to say was that... But I think that I will complain about my computer first.
It hates me.
It insists upon signing me out of chat on gmail whenever it gets nervous.
It hides interesting nuggets of knowledge, like how to change themes, from me.
It crashes Firefox at the drop of the proverbial hat.
And, to add insult to injury, it kills me at solitaire.

I'm pretty sure that it's a thinking machine- a stupid, clumsy, worthless thinking machine, but still. If you are stumped by my reference, then read the Dune series by Frank Herbert (and the spin-offs, too). That should help.
It's going to take over the world.
Sleep well...

pre-blog (a bad attempted pun on prologue)

This is my third blog. Ever. And will probably not be my last. The first two, um, stalled (ie, I stopped bothering with the posting nonsense that blogs require). The same will undoubtedly happen for this one.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

The blog's title has to do with my workplace.
And, if you need to know, I'll tell you.
It's simple.

Since you might need to know (here I am speaking to my non-existent readers), I will tell you that I am fond of bad puns that can be followed by sarcastic laughter. I am probably going to write about random stuff that alludes to random stuff, with the odd applicable thing thrown in.

My computer will be a likely topic, as I despise it. My search for an affordable macbook pro will be another.
And work. I will talk about work a lot, hopefully without actually mentioning the company or any details of what I do, because then I would have to kill you.
And killing is messy and expensive. I'd rather buy that macbook pro.
