Wow, yuppies really evoke a dark side of my personality.

I shouldn’t make fun of anyone’s “religion”… but soulless corporate drones are vile things to me. Walk alike, talk alike, tail kissing plastic faces. Designer haircuts, power ties, looks before ability. Blind fish who swim in a dark cave… unaware of the environment around them, save for what they might eat, or what might eat them. Albino, ugly things when put into the light.

So, Scotto, how do you really feel? Bitter?

No. not really. I feel inconvenienced by the standards they have… people who use “overqualified” as an excuse not to hire someone who has long hair, or doesn’t look the mold.

But I realize this: If no standards existed, they’d hire folks that I couldn’t abide. The “pig-pens” of the world. Working in the computer industry, I bounce off the other end of the social spectrum too. Bad Breath, infrequent bathers, people who burst pimples on bathroom mirrors, and leave the remains for the next one in to see(gag) and folks who smoke far too much… to the point of bringing a gagging stench into the computer room even though it’s supposedly smoke-free. It seems that I end up working with the latter, because I’m not in the mold of the former.

Where does one draw the line? To my convenience, of course!

If you’re not obliged to meet clients or customers…

Allow Sandals. Long hair, and maybe a fun T-shirt instead of a collared shirt on Friday. Ties optional. Allow beards. Allow Music on headphones, if not on a community stereo

regulate Hygiene, comfortable but clean clothes (and bodies), please make people pick up messes, and have sick people go home, rather than spread ick and poor morale. no foul smells or language, (save for extenuating circumstances) and be generally polite to one another.

That’s what I’d like.

so, who wants to hire a long-haired overfed leaping gnome like myself?

I’m already 3 episodes behind?

Yeesh. Oh, and Malcolm in the Middle was fun tonight too. Anything with a gang-clown fight is cool in my book.

Watching the Lone Gunmen.

Another reason I love my sweetie… she digs those guys more then Scully & Mulder, too. Could someone tell me how I lucked into such a darlin’? Anyhoo, the show is fun, although I’m not fond of the deliverate ‘mis-speaks’. (The Chinese bombing Pearl Harbor, etc) The opening of them being young was a hoot, too.

And now, the obligatory LJ poll.

oh, also see –http://e-com-con.com/ for insider silly-stuff.

Scotto hungry. I wish the Hulk were here, to share his tasty fruit pies with me… Cherry would taste soooooo good right now. I guess I’ll have to settle for breakfast for lunch. Lucky Charms mixed in vanilla yogurt (instead of milk), Orange juice, Coffee, and my net-paper.

Oh, man… my overhead light just went out, and I’m out of bulbs. my cam’s going to be dark as well as fuzzy… feh.

Morning walk went well, soft rains kept it cool, and I saw a lot of people out and about… gave me an idea for a new story… may be too large to post here, though… I’ll write it, and post a link.

Tired of chatting with your buddy list?

Nobody awake?

Check out Alice… like good old eliza, but better.

(thanks to apriljoy for pointing me at it)

Rock-solid, never-fail advice for Scooby and Shaggy: Never agree to split up. Never. I know Fred looks like a smart guy, that Daphne and Velma are very persuasive, and you can cover twice the area with two groups than you can with one, but this splitting up business always ends with you two getting into a lot of trouble. Next time your “friends” suggest splitting up, just say no.

Ah, need sleep. nite nite.
