bah hum bug!

I simply dread this time of year at this job. It is just 10 times worst than regular days, the fakes are 10 times faker, people are bickering over who gets what christmas card, you all know the routine.
Tonight I have to go to the Christmas party. I will find solace in many glasses of wine. I looked for an excuse on an excuse generator and low and behold, it gave the excuse that I was going to see the Rockettes. Well, that is what we do, send people to see the rockettes, it wouldn't work for me.
Co-workers that don't have my supervisor got gifts worth something, others went out to lunch, our supervisor gave us each a package of 5 little jars of jelly.
I am going on vacation next week, to Arkansas. I am going to mine for diamonds. Yes, I am going to seek my fortune. When I get back, I am giving my notice here. Thank goodness I got that offer for the gov job.

Merry Christmas to all of you, and I won't be back until January so Happy New Year too!

You are so right. Christmas time is the time people at work are more loopy than normal.

Nope, found no diamonds, but they are there. Arkansas is a really nice place, I will go back there. I am driving on this trip so I have plenty of idle time to hash over my resingnation when I get back. I am ready. We stopped at Graceland, cool place actually. It made me see Elvis in a new light, he was a really nice guy. It is sad how everything panned out for him.

Religion is so thick in this area. I didn't realize I was spending my vacation in a "dry" area. Even where they make Jack Daniels, it is dry, you can't drink the stuff. There are signs on the side of the highway that say things like "save your child, don't spare the rod" and these long Bible verses, that if you were to read, you would wreck your car. It was good to get out and see how others conduct life.

Oh, Arkansas also has many Indian sites, mounds and that sort of thing. Very interesting if you like archeology.

Mostly because it birthed the two worst things to hit U.S. economics, government, and culture; Bill Clinton and Wal-Mart! The former opened the economy to big-time butt-rape with NAFTA while getting blown by a fat whore like Nero fiddling to the burning of Rome, while the latter makes a profit off the fire and is a HUGE accelerant in itself. Funny how the bible-thumpers who hate Darwin and think the whole world is only 6000 years old think nothing of the Social Darwinism they created, ignored, and is finally BITING THEM IN THE ASS! That's just my take on Arkansas, damned midwestern Yankee bastard man that I am. Keep it evil...

I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am a world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys
Honey gotta help me please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby detonate for me
Look out honey, 'cause I'm using technology
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a fire fight
Honey gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby penerate my mind
And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy said hey forgotten boy
