the end

the adventure at the bad company b is over now and i'm back on earth, again. it has been getting close to the end and i wasn't sure if i would manage to get through. by now, i'm sufferning from cold but it could have been much worse. of course i did take some pictures but i decided not to post them here. i've got the pictures from the queen of darkness and from garfield. please send me an email if you are interested in. unfortunately i don't have some picture of the goblin before the explosion and surley, you don't want to see a picture showing the goblin afterwards. i've got a new employment and i'm heading towards a new adventure. so, this one is over now. hope it was worth reading to you! if you ever want to try yourself facing a dangerous and thrilling adventure go and work for this big bad company b!

The goblin's way to paradise

The goblin clearly wants to commit suicide. The creature eats without pause and drinks coca cola and will surely explode soon. And exactly like those fundamentalistic moslems the goblin dreams of the paradise after death. A lovely place where goblin virgins serve those brave suicide bombers...

But the goblin knows that he has to take some poor souls with him. He has to kill some people to get into paradise and he has decided to do so. But his way of killing the poor colleagues around him is rather curious: he wants the people to die by disgust. For this the goblin is eating in a rather disgusting manner. It's very very awful and I cannot find any words explaining those disgusting pictures I am seeing right now.

The queen is already upchucking and I'm sure the goblin will make his way into paradise....

Did as I was told

A colleague asked me to answer the phone for him and say: 'He is currently unavailable and will call you back.'

Well, I did exactly as I have been told, but then he wanted to know who had been calling and what phone number he should dial now. Of course it had seem strange to me only saying what I've been told, but things here usually are so strange that I did not wonder about that very much.

Pascal's Triangle

My boss finally finished his bottle cap sculpture which, as already said, looks like Pascal's Triangle but without numbers. But he is not happy because another desk has finished Pascal's Triangle without numbers made of bottle caps, too, with twice as much rows as my boss!

I'm sure that everybody would be impressed by my boss' sculpure if he somehow managed it to attach the appropriate binomial numbers to the sculpture since nobody in here (except for me :-)) has seen this before. And I'm sure about this because the usual reaction when talking about Pascal's Triangle is something like 'Hm. Pascal's Triangle? Is this some kind of baguette? What does it taste like?'.

Same procedure as every day

The director will soon have finished his breakfast and will then come into this big room. He walks around looking around and everybody has to stand up and applaud. Then, pointing at some poor colleague, he says: 'YOU. Tell me, what are you doing right now?'. The employee then has to say his name and what he is working at. In case the director likes your project he talks about for hours. So, it's best to explain the project as difficult as possible  so that the director doesn't understand a word and moves on. But it's not as easy as it sounds since, if the director doesn't see what the project is good for, the employee gets fired immediately.

Therefore, I do the only thing that can save me from the director and from getting fired: I hide myself under my desk until the director is out of the room again.
