This is ridiculous!

My boss just walked into my office and demanded that "we" (meaning me) go over some extremely complicated proposal he would like for "us" (still only me) to formulate and submit today. This is for a huge deal we are trying to secure....Its 5:30pm ON FRIDAY. Just after I miraculously survived a 4 hour seminar from hell, with an instructor that must have been speaking in tongues for all I heard. Please tell me, do i have SLAVE DRIVER on my face? No? Look closely, because there is no other explanation for this insanity.

I looked like i was going to fall off my chair and start spewing out my lunch with deadly precision onto his neatly parted thining hair so he's agreed to meet on Monday.
Why thank you kind sir.
Your kindness knows no bounds.
Jerk.

Now my Firewall is clearly deadset on ensuring that when i go online, I stay within the confines of sleep inducing coporate propaganda by denying me access to this website which according to them contains "Sexual Materials or Gruesome Content". I'm willing to bet my grandma's left lung it doesn't. I think the content filter guy over at my company HQ had a very traumatic childhood... probably an abusive past compounded by a severe oidipus complex....to him, everything is porn.

Nope, no sexual materials or gruesome content. Funny, when I think of gruesome content I automatically think of Bush.

Our company filter is hilarious. Practically every site is verboten, because words like 'assume' and 'button' contain the words 'ass' and 'butt'. The really racy ones (that contain references to sperm whales) set off a little alarm in the IT manager's office.

LOL. kyk that's extreme. I think the blogs I visit are on the periphery of being banned - including yours with unacceptable words like...dare I even repeat it... DRUGS.

Some people just have no sense of humor, hey? I feel your pain. I've had a few blocked from me, too!

Thgs Tht Ps Me Off But They Realy Shudnt Al Becz Im Nurotik n Mity Irationl Sumtims Espcialy Whn The PMS Sets In n I Hve a Frikn Rash i Cnt Get Rid Of

Nah, just kidding. About writing about things that piss me off I mean. There are just so many I wouldn’t know where to begin. But I wasn’t kidding about the PMS. Or the goddamn STD-looking rash. Anywayz, this is my last post. Lets just say one or two people got hold of this link and I feel that my writing has gotten severely compromised, defeating its original purpose as a forum to express my self-righteous indignation. Besides, i was begining to feel like I'm a modern day Narcissus. I've finally come to terms with the fact that I will never be a writer. But I’ll always be an avid reader, so to my fav bloggers - Bent, Carrie, Kykie - see ya’ll on your own turf. With that said, I’ll leave you all with these profound words of wisdom: Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur. (whatever is said in Latin sounds profound) Laterz.

A revelation

In my excitement of having unrestricted Internet at home I eagerly went in search of all the x-rated content I've been so deprived of. But I would just like to take this moment to announce that as of today, I OFFICIALLY HATE PORN. It's just plain disgusting. All that...er...liquid. And all those...um..orifices. Eeewww. I cringe just thinking about that scene i just saw. Yes ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, from here on out this computer will be porn free. Thats all.

Life in the mad house

My Auntie dearest must have been suffering from temporary insanity when in a moment of weakness she agreed (!?!?!) to have every single cousin, second cousin, and cousin's friend we know (or don't know) come spend a week or two with us. This means I’m now sardined with 11 kids between the ages of 10 months and 14 years in a tiny three-bedroom apartment (four really, but one is used as a storeroom). There is always someone in the fridge and grocery shopping is a joke coz these kids throw down (eat) like there's no tomorrow. 8 baguettes, 6 litres of milk, 20 eggs. Every. Goddamned. Day. And that’s just breakfast. The crying, the biting, the fighting, the screeching - my ears have threatened to find a new body. So I get home from work, change into something more comfortable and just go loiter at a friend's till I know the little boogers are snoring in their beds. Yesterday, I came back after 11 and 10 of them were still awake, still running about and still fucking screec...
