Holy FuckMonkeys Batman!
Yeesh. I get back from one trip, and I'm already scheduled for another.

The Company wants me to fly down to Pasadena for their patented Team Building Exercise. This will use their trademarked Three Day Travel Plan. This is where the traveller flies into location on day 1, is there for Planned Activities on day 2, then leaves on day 3. It's the blitzkrieg of business travel.

At the very least I'll get to meet our new director-guy and hopefully have some words with him about the general state of affairs. With luck, this may be a Good Thing.

As for the trip I just got back from, that was a blast. The people out in NC were loads of fun. Now to just get them to visit Seattle... ;-)

*sigh* There just isn't enough time for everything I want to do. It doesn't help that I've got Morrowind, SoF2 and GTA3 to eat away any spare time I have at home. It's been a while since I had this much digital crack on hand.



Every now n' then, I hear people talk about being bored. "Oh, I'm SO bored. Oh alas."

Hey Asshole, here's a news-flash: IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING BORING.

Let's take a personal example, me. My time is overfull. I've got projects coming out my ears, all begging for attention. Just about all of 'em are things that I chose to tackle. Why? Because I can. Because they interest me. Because they challenge and intrigue me. Because without shit to do, I would go completely batshit.

Sure, I could be the corporate drone and come to work, punch the clock, take my paycheck, and go home to veg out for a few hours staring at the ceiling, eat a tv dinner, and go to sleep. Rinse, and repeat each day.

What kind of an existance is that?

I suppose it works if you're a lobotomized twit with the IQ of a gerbil.

However, for those with marginally more intelligence that insist on doing this routine, then have the utter pompous audacity to complain about it being boring?!?!?!

Gee wilbur, I wonder why you're bored. Maybe it's because you lead a boring fucking existence devoid of any intellectual or emotional significance? Just maybe? Ya think?

Take an interest in the world around you for crissakes. The sum of human knowledge is vast enough that you can easily lose a lifetime studying aspects of a single topic!

Pick a topic, any topic! Examine the microscopic flora and fauna that exists within your own feces! Explore large number theory! Quantum mechanics! Advanced Cryptography! Aesthetics! Symphony composition!

Pick SOMETHING! Just stop bitching about how bored you are. I'll return every complaint with one of how boring YOU are. Just shut the hell up and do something about your damned problem and stop expecting to be entertained by others, you rotting consumerist sponge you.
