Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.

I feel your pain.

My job is so incredibly insane anymore I've found myself wishing for a completely dead day lately just so I can take a breath.

And Wednesday this week, for whatever reason, I got my wish.  It was totally quiet all day, and I found myself doing exactly what you're doing.

Clockwatching.  Bleah.

Yeah, I'm blowing the dust off some oldies.  I figured I'd change it today to something that actually looks like me.

Bwahaha, bukkaked by stupid.  That's an all-too-apt image, I'm afraid.  Every time my phone rings today it's the same.

I've been exploring the rest of my building to combat this and have made several intriguing discoveries. I attached a rope to the roof beneath the suspended ceiling above a tile in the bathroom and can now hoist myself within the structure.
