A slice of mundanity - boring as heck

[shanmonster]

Downtime! Who'd ever think such a thing possible, considering the intense craziness of the past week?

Now that I have the time, I don't have the stimulus. This is a rather creativity-sucking place to begin with, and since I already feel hung over from mucking about with my sleep schedule, my mind feels curiously vacant.

Dum de dum de dum....

Phaugh! Someone farted. I'll bet it was the girl at the next cubicle over.

Ok. It's gone now. Thank God....

What I hear is a chorus of hotel rates, the air exchanger, the clackity-clack of keyboards, and the ship-like creak of my headset. The room is dry and the air dessicates my skin, letting skin peel off my ever-moving lips in scales. Talking for hours at a time dries the mouth and withers the larynx.

Time passes....

Oh goodie! The computer systems died! This is always exciting.

I'll write more later when I feel more inspired.

So, are you guys actually allowed to post things from work nowadays, or are you just being naughty? :)

I was never told we weren't allowed to post from work. If I was being naughty, it was entirely inadvertent.

Yeah, me neither. :/ I had to ask someone about it after I heard a rumour that a guy lost his net privileges (for I forget how long) for posting on a message board. It might be different now... They could'nt feasibly take away your net access now anyway, since you're running a web-based system!

Odd. I've made no secrets about it. I've even had LJ typing screens or games up when someone from the bar has come around.

I know games were always fine... The reason I was told for the no posting thing was that, theoretically, whatever you post could be traced as coming from the Delta servers and they don't want to be in any way responsible employees' personal opinions causing problems... Something like that. Like I said, it may be completely different now; I've been gone a long time! :)
