Opening disclaimer: I am so happy with my new, albeit temporary, place of employment. It’s just such a better situation than my regular job which gives me Office Space flashbacks on a daily basis. So I’m really not complaining.
BUT (like you didn’t know that was coming), it has completely affected my blogging ability. There have been plenty of little items about which I’ve been meaning to write; I just haven’t had time to get to them. But more importantly, my ability to read all everyone else out there (most specifically, the continuously growing list you see to the right) has been dramatically curtailed. For example, I just don’t have time to get through my “Morning Coffee” every day.
That’s why I am once again so damn thankful for the existence of TMFTML. He manages to make me laugh plenty, but more importantly, was it not for him, I totally would have missed this absolutely hysterical piece from “The Morning News” which made me laugh so hard that one of my seven office mates (we share a 15×15 room … pretty sweet, no?!) thought I was reacting to something she had just said. I know that I’ve never come close to rocking it like Gary Benchley; I’ve also never experienced the climax he does here. Thank God, Jesus, Allah, Brian, Mel … whoever!
And by the way, while you’re over there, you should also check out Choire Sicha’s important scientific breakthrough. Apparently, it’s still a developing theory.
