Now past, the weekend was a complete blur... busy. Last night's rain brought an end to the most wonderful week of weather to date this year. I'm sad to see it go. It was prime outdoor adventure weather. Ironically, I've been a hermit. I can't seem to get going this morning. I would say that my lethargy stems from lack of sleep, but careful consideration of my current office environment reveals a sea of career depression and dark bottomless pit of negativity. Moral is at an all time low. Of course, each day here is worse than the previous, so I could say that indefinitely. I've been tasked with preparing and presenting a lecture on one of our design decisions to the CIO next week... a presentation that has already been given to the CIO on a design that has already been implemented. The current (corrupt) regime of new (incompetent) management simply wants an excuse for some face time with the upstairs exec and a chance to fluff their tail feathers and smooch some overpaid booty. It happens. In an ideal world, I would have another job lined up to step into and simply walk out of this utter insanity... sweetly leaving them to fill my overworked position with another unappreciated IT stooge. Since we are in the real world, I'll procrastinate until my boss is riding my ass like a circus stunt horseman... you know, standing all the way up on the ass... and then I'll shit out some rushed, yet superficially spectacular Power Point presentation that the educated and trained eye of a real network indian would see right through as comical. Catastrophe adverted if only for another day or two before the regime comes up with another plagiarized, overdone method of sticking their heads in superiors asses while standing on the broken backs of subordinates... carefully ensuring traction by clinging to the handles of the blades routinely driven into their backs during ritualistic witch hunts. Burn her! She's a witch! Do I sound bitter to you? You have no fucking idea.
