Better living through apathy...




It's a great day. It's sunny. Girls look good. I'm still listening to Rose Tattoo.

But I have to pass the next few hours in the company of my fellow wageslaves, pretending I'm interested in being here whilst making the company profit.

This morning's meeting was better than usual. 2 people handed in their notice. (Well one of them could have been fired and told to tell everyone she was leaving of her own accord. That happens all the time here too).

Then just before lunch Igor, the unmerciful henchman to our boss, No.1, sent out a really angry email. Full of capital letters, a totally alpha male thing to do. You could tell he was swearing when he wrote it. It went...

"FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH…………SOMEONE HAS LEFT A TAP RUNNING IN ONE OF THE BATHROOMS DOWNSTAIRS.
 
FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH…………THE KITCHEN HAS BEEN FLOODED AND SOMEONE ELSE HAS HAD TO CLEAN UP….
 
ENOUGH!! I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO SAY ANYMORE ABOUT THIS……….UNDERSTOOD??"

classic stuff.

It's subject line said "AND NOW I'M REALLY PISSED!!!!'

Like the tagline to a bad Rambo sequel or something.
Or an admission to pre-lunch drinking sessions. (ah they were the days!)

Now I agree that running flooding the toilets is kind of bad news and all, but when you think it was probably one of the marketing girls, leaving the tap running to drown out the sound of crying or bulimic heaving or something, you can't get too wound up about it.

So anyway, I've decided to progress further with my fantasy life.
Following the lead of the MD of a Dublin packaging design company I know of, who collects pictures of 'perfect' male body parts, I'm going to get myself a better body.

Online, without ever going to a gym or beach or whatever.

The new me will be fitter, happier, more productive. So to speak.

Only I'm not doing it cause I'm a seriously repressed married man (Bill?)

I'm doing to get a better life.

Better living through apathy.

Yeah!
