Hour Six

there is a dumb team building thing that the whole team is supposed to go to.  Normally this would irritate me, but today it is cool because it chews up some of this over long day.

**Edit**

On the way down someone stoped us to tell us it was canceled.  That is pretty normal around these parts, you know corporate communication.

Hour Five

Had one of my exite interviews, it was nice words but seeme dso cold and distant.

 ”Good Luck, come see us sometime, laters.”  It was over in five minuets.  I’m finding that it is a lot nicer when people come to my desk to say bye.  They are the people that want to say bye, as opposed to the people that have to say bye.  Savvy?

“This is so unusual, and I don’t know whether or not it’s a lesson from God,” Karim said.

It snowed in Baghad today.  And people took a snow day, a chance to play and have fun, and for a brief moment be children.  Such a simple thing, and it brings so much joy.  A part of that makes me really happy, because it shows how resiliant people are.  In spite of all the war and all the fighting and all the bloodshed, they can still find joy in a snowball fight.  One the other hand it makes me sad, because tomorrow there will be a bomb, or a shooting, or something that will destroy that joy. 

“I don’t know whether or not it’s a lesson from God”

I think it would be.  Take joy where you can find it and don’t let go of that no matter what.

Let’s end this fucking war now.

Hour Four

Technically it is now.  Just doing crap work that doesn’t cause errors to keep myself busy.

Hour Three

Just had a lunch with my whole team.  As much as I dilike a lot of things about my job I know that the one thing I will miss is a lot of the cool people that I work with.

Virtual Dogfighting

I think that there are very few people who would openly condone dogfighting.  The sport takes place behind closed doors, owners consenting to the brutality and the reverence that is taken for the fallen soldier.  We act like there is a minor subset of the population that is as viscous as these animals.  Yet we are drwn to the carnage, like flies to shit.  As long as we didn’t participate in it then it is ok to view it.  We play video games where we simulate murder and terrorism.  Why not dog fighting.  I want to feed my virtual dog, reminiscent of a tomagotchi; ball bearings, and gunpowder.  Have him wear a 50 lb. chain around its neck and then pit it against a friends dog on x box live.  People need to realize that it is their fascination with such connoted subcultural phenomenon, that keeps people fighting animals and putting it on you tube.  You would have thought that the worst thing that happened to Michael Vick aka Ron Mexico was a case of herepes.  Hopefully the prison he is sent to has a very low percentage of herpes patients, because if its high…you know the motto, you cant get herpes twice. FUCK THAT

Hour Two

So I went on a walk with my friend David, good times, one of the things that I will miss about working here is the close proximity to David and Jarrod.  Fortunately since most of my communication with them at work is via e-mail, shouldn’t be to hard to still talk to them.

We did talk about Tesla a bit, and I dug into his Wiki again.  That dude was amazing, to bad the band named after him is shite.

Hour One

I am on my last day at work, and I’m doing shit all.  I think I will post every hour, just to keep track of time as it goes by.  Hopefully the next one will be a little more interesting.
