But work lately does depress me. But luckily i have the whole internet, and in particular this website, to soothe and entertain me. I have this platform to rant and rave from - TODAY SUCKED, TOMORROW WILL SUCK TOO!!

There, that’s enough of that. How are things with you - have you thrown anything out the window lately?

Even the window of your mind? Right now i am throwing a small something out the virtual window. Because it’s so small, i am throwing it from a very high window so it will break nicely into approximately 273 pieces. I care about the folks below so first i yell “LOOK OUT BELOW” then hurl the little something down with as much speed as possible, as if it had actually fallen from even more height than my minds eye can fabricate stories of the imaginary building. With a satisfying ‘pop’ it disintegrates into fragments no larger than 1/2 inch - most are smaller. Large trucks grind the remains into grit, that gradually washes into the storm sewers during the rains.

Remember the rain in “The Matrix”? The pouring rain when Neo was in the car, and he decided not to ‘take the highway’? Like that rain, a gully washer comes, and it removes the last trace of the small something.

OK, let’s get down to it. Time to tell all (actually only some, there’s no way i could know all) about the company i work for. NO i will not name the company. A few reasons:

1 - I can’t afford the loss of paycheck and especially the slander lawsuit that would come next.

2 - If we keep this nameless it will

2a - go better with my own namelessness.

2b - sound a universal chord with many others who are experiencing the same types of treatment in the name of misguided decision making.

3 - If i don’t name a company, no company will come after me and make me stop.

At this early stage i will only be addressing the issues that affect me directly. It’s alot like whining. To the whole world. This is going to be fun!

Lets start with the basic issue: it’s called HR. Some of you may remember when the part of a company that dealt with the people was called “Personnel”. That sounded alot like people - it sort of implied the company, was composed of people, who worked for it. Maybe they actually cared for the people that made its income appear. All the people, not just the execs at the top (who didn’t used to make obscene incomes).

But somewhere along the line, things changed. Now every organization calls that department “Human Resources”. This never bothered me until recently, when i really thought about what it meant. Resources are something you make something out of. Like a tree trunk - you make it into 2 x 4’s. A Human Resource is a human who is a resource. Not really a person anymore. Just something for the company to use. I liken a human resource to something similar to a computer. It is something the company buys and then uses. The difference? The human resource costs the company more, so they expect it to produce more revenue. And these days they are finding new ways to get more out of their resources.

We’ll talk more later.

Hey wait - i’m supposed to be entertaining you, hopefully with humor. Let’s see if we can end on a high note.

What happens when you get so fed up with your work that you throw your pc out the window? If you decide to try this i suggest you have some one film it with their cell phone. And be careful - flying computers can kill! Also you had better be the owner of the company or in a really good disguise. And may i also suggest you do not throw CRT monitors? Loads of broken, flying glass would be dangerous.

There, that should do the trick for entertainment - even if it’s just virtual (in your imagination - just picture how much you suddenly want to do this!!)

I admit it. I’m a total amateur to the web page editing thing.

I do have great expertise in viewing web sites. I love it. The tendency to stay up too late, to start first thing in the morning, to postpone chores - all there. After all this is the information age. I need information. If i could get by without the internet i would but i can’t. This addiction is mind expanding without chemicals, and informative with no need for deliberate purpose.

But now i have crossed over. I am furnishing some of the internet. A small start, but hopefully this will grow without stopping. Did you know most of the wealth of American companies is held in intellectual property? It’s true i think i read it somewhere. Hopefully i can find where and reference it sometime. But for now take my word for it.

Because being still very new with this web/blog construction i have a lot to learn. The WP software i’m using seems easy to use, but there is still much to digest. The website interface does not seem so easy.

Anyway, you will just have to bear with me. I will get better. I have to in order to escape from the evil corporate world. (That reference is generic, and undeserved, but i am biased due to one particular corporation that i currently work for.) Sorry

Look for changes here. Change can be good. I will try my best to always make my changes for the better.

Sorry no humor today. Thanks for listening.

Welcome to my website. Due to circumstances not yet under my control, i cannot tell you much. For example, i cannot tell you who i am. I cannot tell you what i am, male, female, age, etc. This if for my protection from the corporation. I can tell you about them, and i will, don’t worry.

This website is here for both you and me. For you hopefully i will be providing a daily chuckle. Perhaps a full fledged laugh. At least make you think, have you say “yeah that’s right”. That will be my goal. As you may know already, laughter is the best medicine. I want to provide you with laughter, or at least fun, some amusement to make your day better. And maybe something to think about on the serious side.

What do i expect in return?? Well your support. Especially the rah rah stuff. If you like it, tell your friends to check it out. Tell between 29 and 176 friends. If you don’t have at least 29 friends, borrow some from the friends you do have. Or rent some. Because this is serious. I really need your support. BTW if you see something that interests you, click on it. Or even buy something if you really want to. If you really don’t want to buy anything, that’s ok. This is a no obligations site.

See i need support both moral and financial. Hopefully this website will allow me to escape the clutches of the corporation. But your goodwill (moral support) is far more important than the monetary.

If you, and you, and you all like it, then the rest will take care of itself.

So my job here is to entertain. To make you want to hear what i think. The better i do that, the better i do overall.

Have a great day — and wish me luck, i will likely need it (its a big internet out there)
