Stuff you think about during work in the office….
The iphone looks just dandy.
But after closer googling for ‘iphone problem’ I’ve found that it overheats, freezes and 1 in 10 were broken from the store.
A better alternative is the new Samsung F700 which is similar in operation, but has a dedicated keyboard.
I think I’ll struggle on with my Ipaq for the time being though…why can’t they get technology right first time?
It just seems to rain rain rain here.
We had a couple of weeks of nice weather but it’s just shocking now.
Come back sun!!!!
It was the summer of 1994.
Paper aeroplanes were definitely what I was folding up in my insurance office. Life was grim but I made the best of it with skiving all day and recreational drugs after work.
But it was a warm summer. People were kewl in the office. And in fairness, it employed design that would be relavant today. I had a huge desk and my own telephone, not very common in the temp jobs I used to do.
Sadly that office is now gone, and the company moved from the area. It now houses a coffee house on the ground floor and not much else on the remaining 5 floors.
If I ever open an office, I’d like it there.
From the office window I can the lovely glow of the sun going down….this truly is a beautiful time of year and I’m not worrying about those cockteasing office worker girlies.
The air is crisp, the sky is clear and my head feels strangely clear too.
If we could just freeze time…
Sheer boredom and open plan offices means you can gaze from afar and fantasise in a sexual nature about the women in the office.
Of course this is a problem when someone comes over to ask you to help with something and you’re hard as a rock.
Worse still, there’s nowhere safe to beat your meat should the urge take you, what with toilet cubicles that can be seen underneath for just this purpose – gone are the McDonalds sealed units for full privacy.
Best cure is lots of junk food to drive your libido down and heaps of porn before work…then when you see the office girls, you’ll not give a damn…..
Paper Aeroplane Diaries is purely a metaphor for what we waste our time thinking about during work…..or maybe a deeper meaning, what is the point in all this office life/politics/existence anyway?
What motivates us to continue tapping away at our keyboards….maybe the ‘lemmingness’ of our existence….the office provides structure and comfort….but maybe stress and conflict.
I’ve always believed the office, with it’s stationary stance, allows us to waste time thinking about non-important events and happenings. The inefficency and charade of efficency that is combined to produce the corporate player. Are you licking the right arsehole? Is you tongue going up it far enough?
I’ve always believed arse-lickers to be sadly sad. But I’ve seen it work time and time again…particuarly with women who indeed are interested in popularity more than success….surround yourselves not with clever people but your friends.
It is a wonder any work gets done with around 1/3 of the time spent on politics within corporate jungles. In anycase, I am now no longer part of this…and can comment freely.
Till my next typing escapade….
