...I got another week on this one gig, well a couple of days left now...but I must say, the bane of my existence has been listening to the nitwits across the hall in their cubicles...Don't get me wrong, I'm no misanthrope...I think I get along well with others but if I hear one of those tarts grousing about the men they can't get or the reality TV shows they're watching for any longer than the 23 hours left, I'm gonna hulk out and hurt somebody...or do something like this to myself.......nah, fuckit...I'll just bump some Pantera for a minute...and get on with my life...R-E-S-P-E-C-T...

Hell yeah! I find I like to express my violent inclinations at the office through my playlist. Or I just start shredding everything in my site, which is very therapeutic. "Walk" is one of my favorites, here's another - I love the slow build-up.

Oh Crash, I feel for ya. I'm trying very hard to avoid going back to the cubicle mines, but my bank account is starting bark and I may have to endure office banality in exchange for cash. Hang in there, dude. Crank the Pantera. I use to use Public Enemy to express my frustration with the cube-o-sphere.

It's amazing that you can hold down your lunch, Crash. But as they sow, so shall they reap. How about a reality TV show with a bunch of office workers trapped in their individual cubicles - that keep getting smaller and smaller with every screw-up they make on their respective Excel sheets? And all they have to stop the walls from closing in and crushing them: PAPER CLIPS!

1. Hey Mike! Stop knocking Excel spreadsheets man - they are my bread and butter. Haha..
Ok, now that's out of the way: hahaha...before I moved I didn't even try to hold back with my coworkers anymore. I could tell that they couldn't figure out if I was kidding or if I really was that much of a bitch when I told them things like "You are too fucking retarded to do this, so I'll do it for you." Now that I work from home and rarely have to talk to them I'm all sunshine and smiles when I do. Feels good. So, I totally understand.

A pod is a small desk in a row of desks with nary a wall between them....they're all connected and there's no privacy. I'd probably be better off in a storage cube!

I don't suppose you can get a recording of those "tarts grousing about the men they can’t get..."? That would be pretty entertaining!!! Usually once you get a hint of their attitude you quickly realize why they don't get what they want.

@katrina: word...that's a great track (I forgot to tell you that earlier)...it's like Aerosmith's "Dream On" for a new, wired generation...thanks, mamacita...
@LadyMiss: ouch...better get on that with a quickness...hand to mouth seems to be the coin of the realm for a grip of us these days but don't wait around...PE's a nice choice "Who Stole the Soul?"..."She Watch Channel Zero"..."Welcome to the Terrordome" would've all been right on time in that instance....
@Mikey: I managed to do so by slapping on my headphones and tuning those mooks out altogether...nice premise for a reality show...if that impending Writer's Guild strike goes through, I wouldn't be surprised and a half if I saw something like it on the air in, say, then fall season...
@Charles: unfortunately, I didn't have that luxury of dropping dime on those biotches because I might do some other stuff there in another department...so the prudent ABM (angry black man) has to channel his vitriol in other ways...
@tybees: shite, man...been there...bought the T-shirt...
@sinnervip: righteous...
@stefan: ....I know...it was like the beginning 20 seconds of Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" on an 8 hour loop...thank the gods that shite's over...
@changeling: sign me up, yo...his name is Robert Paulson...hahahaaa...
