Throwing is the new rolling

One of the greatest sites ever to be seen by mere mortals. Prepare yourselves...for awesomeness.

1:23 PM - HK_Newbie Maintains a professional attitude at work. Part 1.

No. Not really. But what I do maintain is an air of irreverence and geeky-annoyance that has been perfected over the years by my ilk (the IT crowd).

For your consideration:

Today we did what my work likes to call a "disaster preparedness plan". They don't really call it that--they use some asinine weaselwords instead, but this is what I call it because it actually makes sense. Basically, what it consists of is a role-playing event of disasterous proportions (think giant lizard attack), except without all the tennis ball throwing and cries of "Lightning bolt!"



Of course, upon being involved in the event, I decide to add a bit of what I like to call "Newbie spicyness!"

All of these events took place either via email traffic or Telecons.

Here's the first email:


I had to reduce the font size to fit it in one 1154 X 864 resolution screen size. I swear, each letter must have been roughly the size of a car tire on the original email. I don't know if the sender understood that having to piece together each word letter-by-letter is highly fucking annoying. Oh well.

Then one of my cohorts makes the mistake of asking the group how to proceed, and I respond in a productive, professional manner.

My Boss incorporates my stunning answer into his response to the event.
In front of his boss.
Am I climbing the corporate ladder or what?







(click image for hi-res goodness!)





YES! GOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!


God, I'm a loser.
