The Nerds have finally taken over

Question: “Caleb, you work all day at a computer and you haven’t been updating this blog every twenty minutes, what gives?”

Answer:”If we had all just voted for Bo Gritz in the early 90s we wouldn’t be having this Big Brother problem.”

Consider the following:

IT Nazi: “Caleb, my real time update of your every move indicates that you have visited espn.com while at work.”

Caleb: “Dude, IT Nazi, you go to espn.com too? I had no idea we were on the same ‘project.’”

Caleb goes for high five and is left hanging.

IT Nazi: “Your project is cash flow, and how could you possibly think espn.com qualifies as work?”

Caleb (thinking): “How can a man work when he is too busy wondering what he could be reading about on espn.com?”

Caleb (saying): “You’re right IT Nazi, I’ll never use the internet again, I’ll only take bathroom breaks when I actually need to go, and I offer 7 years of indentured service from my firstborn son.”

IT Nazi (thinking): “Fool, I would have caved on the bathroom breaks.”

IT Nazi (saying): “Your terms are acceptable.”

I haven’t used the internet at work since. Really, they just told me my first day that they monitor everyone’s internet usage and I live in fear. I have been trying to change to address of this blog to a website that sounds like a site I would use for my work. The problem is that every site that sounds plausible, like Wellsfargo.com, is already taken. Crafty IT Nazis.

True Fact: I read the 7th Harry Potter for 45 minutes in the bathroom at my last job.

Reasonable Question: “Why stop at 45 minutes?”

Answer: Espn.com was streaming playoff games.

Gosh, and I thought I was the only one that obsessed with HP... Although, right now it's the Twilight series. Gotta love the vampires!
