there is no such thing as a free lunch, err, breakfast

this morning, bright and early, my whole 'group' at work has breakfast with one of the senior vice presidents, the third in command of BIG BROTHER INDUSTRIES. should be sufficiently painful, as my 'group' consists mostly of social retards. i don't know about you, but one of the many phobias that keeps this cubefarmprole up at night is a fear of eating in public. ok, not literally keeps me up, but i don't know i'll like when i've got a mouthful of eggs and potato and someone is all, 'hey, what neat projects are you working on?' accordingly, i'll pick like a bird and run out and get a bagel when it's all over. blah. at least it's in the pretty boardroom and some great big pain in the ass will vie for center stage the whole time, so i'll just sit back and watch her social retardom unfold as she verbally masturbates herself. free entertainment with price of admission, that can't be too bad, can it?

the tomunist revolt is unrolling nicely, thankyouverymuch. today's accomplishment: assisting up dr. uwscats with a 'fuck you' to big business. tomorrow: i'm thinking of circulating a memo at work about the blue ink ban i'm imposing... tra la la tee da...

damn you, wikipedia, damn you to hell...!

kidding, i love you wikibuddy, you addictive bastard! you and me forever! [cue sappy love song.] seriously, is there anything wiki can't do? no. there isn't.

so former bigbossman, the one who was ousted / ousted himself circa november 2005 [recall] and i emailed briefly today. it seems a coworker is going to get axed soon, and she asked me to get his telephone number at his new job for her. give him the heads-up that random coworker is going to ring his bell, etc., and he and i get into a nice email exchange, culminating in his, 'hey, i've got a job opening here, second in command, that does x, y, and z.' oh, funny bigbossman, i do just that! but then YOU HIRED ME to do just that, so, well, hey now... gave him the, 'i'm interested if you can pay' email, tastefully worded, of course of course, and waiting to see what he does with it. hmm. how's that for karma? he gets blasted with a demotion he won't take and pilfers his new staff from his old staff one by one, catch the poetic justice?

will keep you posted.

in other news... seems my 2004 christmas gift o' an ipod mini is about to die. so sad. and by sad i mean, 'shit, i reaaaaaaaaally want a nano, but can't justify another couple of hundred on it.' oh well, c'est la vie......
