Metafilter can die a slow painful death.
More tales from the desk chair.

Man it was a long weekend. My live-in-sin-in’s parents were up as both of our birthdays are next weekend. Spent most of the weekend drinking and eating things that were bad for me. The State Fair really leads to that, although I am a bit bitter that I spent a fair amount of time at work this weekend. I need to get around to getting a smart phone one of these days so I can be productive on my other projects while I have downtime at the day job. The Internet Filter here seems to believe that everything and everyone on the internet is a threat.
See this is where most day jobs lose creative people, or at least those of us who are trying to stay ahead of the curve. I do tech support for god sakes, so it isn’t like I’m going to download conficker, or post company secrets on darknet. Hell, I’m underling enough that I don’t even have company secrets… I digress, being able to peruse gaming and tech news will just have to be relegated to a phone of future purchase, likely one with an inexplicably lower case i. This is what I get for selling out I guess, but at least I can still bring the old flash drive and pound out these blog entries in Word.
They can force me to be productive, they just can’t prevent me from being productive for my own projects. There is something to be said for attaining work life balance by screwing around at work. It may just be the prankster in me that feels you should screw around at work. There is this cartoonist, and the name escapes me right now who said the more we slacked the more we were helping prevent over-efficiency and thus saving the American workforce from it’s own productivity, and thus there would be fewer layoffs.
