Zing!

Once again a great piece of thought has been swept away by the stupidity that surrounds me.

As I was about to type my commentary on civil liberties, its merits and problems I was asked by a male student filling in a medical check-up form "what does it mean by 'are you pergnant'?"

What's the point?

Conversation between me and a colleague who was reading a newspaper:

Me: What's The Point?
Not me: What?
Me: What's the point?
NM: of what?
Me: Nothing, I'm asking you what's the point?
NM: you're not making any sense
Me: I'm not trying to, I'm asking what is the point (as I pointed at his newspaper)
NM: ..........

Apparently The Point is a Jakarta Based English language newspaper.

of Knights and fire breathing dragons

Come and witness the horrible paper waster viewable in my office! The paper waster or as is commonly known to the punlic as the Xerox Phaser 3210 PCL 6 occasionally prints paper like anyother printer but more than often it would gobble 3 to 5 pages at once before it chockes on it, once chocked it requires a considerable amount of force to dislodge the paper, rarely the paper goes unscathed but more often it would ruin the paper making it unpresentable due to the excessive force applied in an attempt to dislodge it, sometimes causing sever damage to the paper (ripping it to pieces). Dislodging the paper requires extra caution as the heat inside may reach up to 180 degrees centigrade, enough to scald human skin..... or bake cookies

Request for removal and replacement of this abomination have been submited but is currently meeting heavy resistance from the finance division.

Expansion pack

Following my recent acquisition of a new filing cabinet I was required to expand my work area to accomodate the filing cabinet, expanding my overall work area (and leg swinging space) by approximately 0.5 meters square. I have also acquired a white table cloth to put on my new filing cabinet so the color will not clash when I decide to position my iBook on top of the cabinet, the table cloth also has the effect of preventing the bottom part of my iBook to be in direct contact with the cold hard steel cabinet.

The position of my new cabinet is next to my old wooden cabinet that I use to store my personal effects, the positioning of these two cabinets can be defined as a cabinet meeting.

confused and bewildered

I know this isn't my usual funny blog since I set up my LJ account but since that one is firewalled by my office server I'll just have to post it here.

It's Staurday, I'm working....again and 5 years from now on this exact same date it would be one of the funniest date in History (provided you go by the Gregorian standard and go with dd/mm/yy). I can't wait to be the first person to type PWND!!!11/11/11/11/11/11/11 on the day

After supervising an English test for almost 2 hours while reading "On sovereignty" (selected writings from Hobbes' Leviathan and Locke's Second Treatise of Government) I sat back behind my desk to do some browsing on the net (because I couldn't do what I was supposed to do), naturaly I went to uncyclopedia to waste my time as always, as ths internet god would have it Xenu was one of the first links I saw, yes, Xenu, those things from scientology. Naturaly I clicked it, the article itself was quite funny and retarded as all uncyclopedia articles are what was different was it had a direct link to wikipedia's entry on the same subject. After a thorough reading of both articles I am now confused, I thought uncyclopedia was supposed to be the retarded one.

but don't make my judgement cloud you, which one's more ridiculous, Wikipedia's xenu or the Wilde version


To be fair I'm never a big fan of religion but this just proves how far a person would go to simply avoid paying tax.

Quote of the day

"We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal."

-Carl Bernstein-

Just another day at the office

It's a quiet late morning (10 am ish) all my colleagues called in sick and I'm alone in my office sitting on my desk with a slice of tiramisu and a mug of hot lemon tea while the sweet sound of a piano melody playing in the background courtesy of Iwashiro Taro.

the best part is I'm getting paid doing this
