Call The Office

Babies don't need a vacation but I still see them at the beach. I'll go over to them and say "What are you doing here, you've never worked a day in your life!".

Call The Office
I am at the office when I receive a phone call from a lass I hadnt heard from in a year. Apparently she had some news for me.

Her: Ken, I recently had a daughter and you're the father.
Me: What the hell?! What are you talking about?!

Her: You have a daughter. She has Asian eyes so I know she is yours.
Me: You know, this isnt funny.

Her: I'm completely serious, Ken. She has the most pretty Asian eyes.
Me: There is no way she is mine!

Her: She has to be your daughter, Ken. I've only been with one Asian man and she has Asian eyes.
Me: Damn it, Mei Ling! There is no way that girl is mine!

...And if you didnt laugh at that one, then you must be blonde. Just like Nancy at office who required me and three other people to explain the joke to her.

You're laughing at me when I'm up

For me when I'm down
I see you when you're laughing
For me when I'm up
I see you when you're crying for me
All you do to me is talk talk

It Wasnt Me This Time

The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
-- Harlan Ellison

::: Tower View :::
It Wasnt Me This Time
Recently, our company found out that someone in the Information Technology (IT) division broke some major rules and got himself fired.

Since I happen to work in the IT division, this had to be some serious offense. The only way for an IT person to get fired is if they were doing work for another company at the office, watching p()rn, doing day trading, or stealing data.

When this person got sacked, it made the rumour mills throughout the company.

What was even worse was the voice mail I got from a friend in another division:
Hey! If you are still working here, call me back. I just wanted to find out if they finally caught you yet.

Sheesh. Thanks for the faith.

I Refuse To Grow Up

We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.
-- George Bernard Shaw

::: Tower View :::
I Refuse To Grow Up




You Are 26 Years Old



Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Re-Arranged by Limp Bizkit

Lately I've been skeptical
Silent when I would used to speak
Distant from all around me
Who witness me fail and become weak
Life is overwhelming
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
I'd love to be the one to
Disappoint you when I dont fall down
