Ah my good and faithful readers, I am currently live blogging from my very own computer at home. I’m sure you are all asking yourselves, “Wait, how can that be Contagion? You work, you have minions to torture and inventory to move.” Well today I don’t. I have some “Time Off” for the day. Apparently my peers and management don’t like being called “Farking Idiots” in the middle of a staff meeting. I just don’t understand why not, they are. It’s not like I was caught lying to them by saying, “You are the most competent and able management staff I’ve ever had the privilege of working with or for.”

So IÂ’m going to spend some time today doing stuff likeÂ…. Trimming my toe nails, catching up on blogging, trimming my finger nails, read some blogs IÂ’ve never been to before, trimming my facial hair, doing some Christmas shopping, trimming some pubic hair and I think IÂ’m going to travel across town to get some Taco Johns for lunch. Why? Because I can, what else am I going to do with the day? The shooting range isnÂ’t open on Friday, plus I really donÂ’t want to travel an hour and a half just to spend an hour shooting to drive back. I did some math, with the cost of bullets, fees and gas it usually costs me around $100.00 for an hours worth of fun. I can invest that $100.00 into alcohol and spread it out for 4 hours. MMMmm, AlcoholÂ… I can do that!

OH! Maybe IÂ’ll go see a movieÂ… no, canÂ’t do that. I refuse to be the dork that goes to movies by themselves. And before any of my readers who do that get on me, yes you are a dork for going to the movies by yourself. Find a friend for peteÂ’s sake, IÂ’m free today!

Heck IÂ’m free possibly even into next week, rest of the month, could be through the beginning of next year. I think it depends on how pissed off they really were. Oh, I guess I should at least pretend to be remorseful. Wait, I just canÂ’t. Even after getting a good 10 hours of sleep and not being pissed today, I still have no regrets. To be honest, when I return to work I think I might do it again, just in case they missed my point. These people need to realize they are farking idiots!

Well IÂ’m off to visit the blogosphere. My IM is in the on position so if you e-mail me IÂ’ll probably respond right away. If you donÂ’t then you will never know the joy of having e-mail chat with someone the likes of me!

1 Yeah, management is kind of funny about being called out on their ineptness. I'd snapped a couple of times and realized that the only one getting screwed was me. So I took another approach.

I started going to my "bosses" with problems only they, with their infinite wisdom, could take care of. As the old saying goes, giving them just enough rope to hang themselves.

We'll see how well it's worked in exactly two weeks.

2 Hmm, if I worked with you I'd probably be home today too, cause I would have laughed out loud at the sight of you calling them on their ineptness!

3 I can't believe that you actually snapped on them... You?

Who am I kidding? Enjoy the day!

6 good for you. i too disliked having to pretend that those who have employed me in the past were not idiots. you need to let them know where they stand once in a while. at least you didn't assault any of them, i salute your self control. i'll have a sip of scotch in your honor. enjoy the day off.

7 I agree with oddybobo, I'd take off too if I worked in your office; just hearing your lilting voice (heh) echoing through the building -- "...f*cking idiots..." -- would've put me in traction! Enjoy the mental health day.

8 I was about to go off on another tirade about my supervisor, but, er, I'll contain myself.
