It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

Sleep?  What sleep?  There is no "sleep" when the low men skulk around your house and the Grabby Girls run loose.  It's not safe.  I'd drink myself into a coma and call in sick the next day, but the bastards would steal the shaving kit out of my desk in my absence.

They say there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but that's just some fat guy on a lawnchair with a Coleman lantern and a white cane.  Why does a blind man need a lantern?  I ask you.  You have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool me, I can tell you.  In fact, you can't sleep at all the night before if you want to fool me, for I am sexy and clever.

Right now, there's a Met Life blimp circling over our plant.  I have been willing the aircraft taking off from Davis Monthan AFB to smack into it, with no luck so far.  Is it WRONG to wish that fucker was full of hydrogen instead of helium?  Is that BAD?  Because the very idea of using the sacred blimp to whore out bad insurance policies offends me.

Another thing I'm not wild about is surface road traffic.  I have to give Mikey (my new mechanic, not the engineer) a ride in to work each morning, and we agree that people are DUMB, so we do a lot of screaming out the windows at people.  He thinks I'm a little odd for a boss, but fuck him.  He doesn't KNOW.  He doesn't have enough scars yet, and the ones he DOES have are in the WRONG PLACES.

Safety Nazi, Mike the Engineer, Filthy Apprentice, Ernie in production...It's like I live in a still, and they're cooking off all the smart people, and leaving the dross to keep me company here in the afterlife. only there's so much DUMB that Filthy Assistant thought leaving me a Starbucks Frappuccino would be a NICE GESTURE.  WHO DOES THAT SHIT?

I don't WANT to give the world a red ass.  I'm NOT trying to change the world.

I'm just trying to get some sleep.

They're also making my head buzz like a radial arm saw.

nnnnniiiiinnnnnnnnnnnng (then occasional noises like a pigeon went through, braaaaaawk).

I can divine the future from that noise.  And the future is this:  I will have unhappy co-workers by the end of the day.  There will be butthurt and stern damage that would put a supercarrier out of action.  There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  There will in fact be dented feelings and ill will all around.

Because I HATE them, LMNO.  I hate them like they were Roy Cohn's personal pimple-squeezers.

Part of me says "Roadrunners don't screech like pterodactyls.  They don't make any noise at all."

But that part of me is WRONG, because the empirical evidence insists that they do in fact screech.  And are they not the descendants of pterodactyls?  I mean, from the loser branch of the family that sort of just gave up and moved to the trailer park, forgot how to fly, and started eating lizards and snakes instead of dinosaurs and coelacanths?

Hell, yes.  So some of them might screech, in a vain attempt to recapture their lost heritage.

That sounds perfectly plausible to me.
