The gravedigger's work is almost done.

As s0b puts it, "The first day back in the office hurts like jetlag." I have shown up, which I think fulfils my obligations; anything else will be negotiated on a case by case basis. I've got a phone full of voice mail I'm hiding from. There's a week of backed-up crap to deal with, as maladministered by NT Muppets.

I have just told Esteemed NT Muppet to do as I say or I'll cough in his keyboard.

LOL! That had me snorting coffee!

So no playing around with Wikipedia (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) today then? My contributions today have been editing the rat (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat) entry (more info on the history of pet rat keeping) and an entry on the National Fancy Rat Society (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Fancy_Rat_Society)....

This is what the can of lysol is for. Semi-seriously: Thank Bog you don't live /here/. Such an act could be construed as biological warfare, one of the many flavors of "WMD"s. (Among such wonderful peers as nukes, sarin gas, cocaine, marijuana, etc.) That would make you a terrorist, and hoo boy, we know what we do to them now.

"You have the right to sing like a canary. Anything you say, and anything we think we hear you say, can and will be held against you in a secret military tribunal. Hell, we just might admit evidence from our psychic friends. Don't even think about a lawyer. If you can afford one, he will not be permitted to see you, examine the charges against you, or even know he's your lawyer. So just talk. Tell us everything. Just keep babbling till the bullet goes through your skull. Do you understand these rights as I...oh fuck it I'm just going to start beating the living shit out of you now.

Someone really needs to write an IRC program that looks like MS Word. Or an outlook message editing window.

Monday was pretty much by first day back at work in a month. (I was actually at work for three days between India and Christmas, but half of that was just catching up with e-mail).

I much prefer being on holiday to being at work... :)

Actually recent news shows the land of the "free" outsources the beatings to Syria.
