ok, so maybe not so much the last definition. after a long and trying period of time while i've been involved in a very large project, i have passed a milestone where it is mostly in operation - and has had several quiet days. i now depart to use portions of the large amount of overtime that has accumulated. i will return, as this project is not yet complete - but much rests in the hands of others at the moment.

so, while i am gone - think of me.... and do me a favour.... thank the next information technology services person who's path you cross where you work. if you really want to freak them out, hug them. tell them you're sorry they work in a world where no news must be assumed to be good news. let them know you realize the rest of the company doesn't appreciate them. without them, the company could never run.

sure, most of that is bullshit - but you'll either make their day, or scare the living hell out of them. either one could be really fun.

i am in a much gentler mood looking ahead to almost a solid week away from work, compared to the blogs i didn't publish because i was running in cold cold anger. i didn't think it was a good sign when i was using phrases such as 'screwed', 'cluster f*ck' or '*ss r*ped' during conversations with work colleagues.

oh sweet time off. perhaps now i'll be able to catch up on everyone's blogs. find a place in the real world again. spend some time with the family.

time to turn off the blackberry. and unless i get some insane overwhelming urge, i'll see you all on wednesday again.
