Long an idea.  The GS book... It was planned, then it failed, then it was planned again, then it failed.  I'll start planning it again.  The new GS here only got half the stuff, too.


Oh! Fuck! I'll do the cover design! I need more shit on my profolio anyways.

So: something vulgar and offensive.

Maybe a dead Jewish woman getting cummed on by a napalmed baby?

I'll give it some more serious thought.  What's stopped me before is that I have no idea how to set it up.  Unless I just randomly throw the stories in there and write a hateful article about how that's all the reader deserves because, statistically speaking, 80% of the readers are women who'll betray me and the rest are emo fags who don't get me.

Oh, I've got the process down. Here: I'll do all the technical aspects. I'll do the layout and typesetting on my Gutenberg press and then re-do all of it when I spill my hairspray vodka on it. I'll do the cover design and get it all running smoothly with Lulu. We'll get to proof it and everything too. All you have to do is collect the articles you want, define the organization of it all, write the copy, punch your friends until they give you some cover quotes,  and do the introduction.

Now that summer class is over, I'm working full time. So: do I make 2,000 Work Day threads or do I make a be-all-end-all thread for my work day shit?

EDIT: Why do I keep spelling "Work" as "Word"?

Today is now day two of me doing absolutely nothing. My boss still hasn't assigned me to a project. I'm wondering if I'm going to spend the rest of my summer doing this. Will I go insane?

Am I already insane?

I left the rough draft of a story I've gotten 50% finished at home. I'll get it during lunch, but it's going to be hard to write a story about sex I've had in workplaces while I'm at work and everyone's breathing down my neck.

I should print out novels and put them in the documentation binders here at work so I can read them.

Oh god. 40 hours a week of this. 40. 40 4040404040404040.

Audiobooks! That's got to be the answer. Anyone got recommendations? I hope the p2p networks have them. I should find some Noam Chomsky lectures too. Anything else? Links?

"Revenge!" by Spoon. Fun song.

Quote
I've gone out of my way
Big, blank slate every day
Big blank, canvas staring at me every day

Revenge
Revenge
Revenge

Push pin stuck in
I've got stuck in

The word's out
I'm not sure where I am
How I'm gonna get back where I am
What the real purpose is what I want
What I want to reveal

Stuck in Dallas with the lavalette
Gotta blink kids are staring at me like a set
I fucked up, now I just won again

(Revenge, Revenge, Revenge) I'm not sure where I am
(Revenge, Revenge, Revenge) How I'm gonna get back where I am
(Revenge, Revenge) What the real purpose is what I want
(Revenge, Revenge) What I want to reveal


Hoo!

I have proof that programmers have the worst sense of humor. From the company internal-Wiki:

Quote
The best quotes from our favorite funny and sarcastic student developer, Kendall ******.

   1. In response to question about a code problem, "Probably but not really." (this one threw me for a loop...)
   2. When asked what he was doing to PROJECT X, "Making it dislike me."
   3. In an PROJECT X dev meeting, responding to the binoculars comment, "Because that would actually increase the pixel resolution."
   4. Claiming that all crashes and bugs are the user's fault, "My code is flawless as long as the user gives it the correct input."


And no, I'm not making that crap up. In the land of developers, appearantly that kid is a fucking comedian...
