Since the way's been paved...

... I can easily take the road more travelled.

Wouldn't it be nice if I had something to say? Sadly, I've been working as a security officer (read: guard) on the graveyard shift in a secure building with no ethical problems or phat lewt to steal. What does this mean?

Boredom, my friend. Sheer unadulterated boredom. Hmmm, adultery. Gotta get me some of that!

An example of the level of boredom: last week I got to write on my report a single out-of-the-ordinary event. Over the weekend, but before my shift, some staffer had apparently brought in their dog. How do I know? Because at 0130 in the shadowy dark I found a puddle. And a few meters off, a lump.

We're not talking cancer, we're talking about a person so dumb that not only do they bring their dog into an office, they let the animal run around and turn the carpet into a latrine.

And they don't clean it up.

Anyway, that was the most exciting thing that happened at work this week. Let the good times roll!

Beyond that, I've got zip going on. Perhaps some potential interesting happenings coming up in a month or so, but I'll bide my time and see how it pans out. You know how it is, you talk about something that sounds good that's coming up and thusly jinx it. I don't want to jinx anything. Call me a coward, or call me Ismael. I ain't saying squat.

Ofcourse you're doing something Important. But you know this. Or perhaps your just trying to believe it. I know I would. But money is flowing into your wallet for doing squat! Thats saying a lot! Perhaps you can play some of the sound clips from that video game"King Pin" over the buildings speaker system as you worked.
You're just getting paid to do what you've always done. Sit,Read and generaly be a genius.
Perhaps you need an Iron glove and a Cat for your desk :)
