So lately I realized that most of my friends have ADD (Attention deficit disorder, for those who are wondering if that meant that they can count). Sometimes I talk to VR and he says 1 thing, then he says something completely different. Has nothing to do with what we were discussing before. And other times we are talking and he asks something and I reply and after a few minutes he asks the same thing again and doesn’t remember our previous conversation. I got thinking and realized he isn’t the only one who is this way. A lot of my friends are the same. Maybe I just hang out with a bunch of weirdoes, which is partially true, but there is more to it.

And then it hit me. It’s work. I sit at work and I am supposed to work. But the crap I do is so retarded, I wonder why I went to 10 years of school, 2 years of high school, 4 years of engineering and 2 years of graduate school to do this. Anyway, what I was getting at was the fact that every little thing distracts me. Someone talking next to me, IM’s blinking, checking email every 2 seconds, surfing for that plasma TV I wanna buy for the last 2 years. I mean everything. I start out working and then I’m like “hmmm� I should see if I can remap my keyboard”. Why would a sane man want to remap his keyboard?

Anyway, the point I was getting at was that if you don’t distract yourself to think “out of the box”, you will probably kill yourself or someone else at work someday. Or better yet, in the famous words of Milton (Office Space) “I’m… going to burn down the building”.

So my dear retarded friends, it’s not your fault. It’s Initech and those crappy ass TPS reports.
