My cube is right by the snack table and I practically went deaf today with the sound of chips crunching in my ear all day...damn software engineers and their guacamole. Thank God for Evil Flash Programmer (he's only evil with code) for making my work life sane. He called me this morning to tell me that he was running late. He had tried calling his manager, but he hadn't arrived at work yet (people come in late...thank God). He thanked me for answering my phone, thereby, acknowledging that he's alive and breathing. A fact, he went on to tell me, that he reminds himself of every morning when he wakes, right before asking himself, "Is this what life is supposed to be like?" I suppose a lot of people ask themselves that question, right before putting on a steely face of confidence and venturing out into the world. But how many people admit it?

Just for today, I love Evil Flash Programmer.
