no new post for 2 weeks?!?

Got it - I'm not gonna post several times each day and spend hours commenting on other blogs. I have better things to do. I'll make a post when there is something to write... 

Or when I'm eagerly anticipating some special event that could potentially turn out to be extremely bizarre, outright ludicrous or could invoke my righteous indignation.

As in the case of my company moving to our newly build headquarters. Thats 1600 people moving with all IT systems, archives, personal binders and stuff, desk, some of the furniture etc. And the moving company has 1 week to accomplish this. This includes packing out all our stuff and placing it in bookcases by the right desk - in a specific order nonetheless! 
1 week means a rather tight schedule for that - especially considering the access road is planned to be finished on morning when 60 trucks is supposed to arrive with all the new furniture. That doesn't leave a hell lot of room for delays. 
Furthermore we are switching to wireless network. I'm not much of an IT guru but it seems to me it'll be rather hard to seriously test the whole network prior to 1600 persons logging on within 1-2 hours. And if the network is not working -> no internet, no intranet, no access to files, folders etc. i.e. basically no-one is able to work (apart from the receptionists...).

It is of course a declared success criteria for our company that everybody can check in at their desk Monday morning and start working right away. I don't say this is impossible, but I will be mighty surprised if this dream scenario is coming through :o)  I give it odds 1:80 for a seamless transition to our new headquarters (seamless as in people can start working instantly - which is not to say they will start working :p).
Personally I expect people to run around like decapitated chickens most of the day looking for their lost belongings, investigating the new headquarters and its facilities from cellar to roof while cursing changes and trying to gain access to wireless network.

I will of course return on the evening of Monday 9th of August when the events has unfolded with an in-depth description of everything gone awry!

Parental advisory explicit content

This blog might very well offend someone somewhere out there. Let me be crystal clear on this from the very beginning - I couldn't care less
I don't write to please people or get a lot of new 'best friends' - actually I really don't care if anyone read this.

On the other hand I don't specifically try to offend anyone. I merely write for my own amusement. Mainly about some of the absurd, cool, hilarious, entertaining, insensical, bizarre, ridiculous and inane intermezzos I come across. And believe me - they are numerous! Maybe I'm some kind of magnet for these things, or maybe I just have an extraordinary well-trained stupidity indicator. All this come garnished with the finest uncut sarcasm, plenty of raw cynicism and just a hint of wit to give it flavor.

If this is right up your alley, stay tuned. Otherwise this is probably a good time to quit. 


See ya in hell fuckers (I've quitted the karma thing) 
ENJOY \m/
