According to the latest digital edition of the Post at least 46% of us surf the net at work. Duh. That’s like saying even fat girls get laid on prom night.
The irony is that most of the people reading the article are going to be doing it from a work machine.  Personally, I don’t have time to surf the net at home so I have to do it at the office.

I’ve got zero time today for blogging. Damned real work keeps getting in the way. I do have a couple of comments on some current events.
- Sugar coat it all you want, but these kids are defending cheaters. Their intellectual property arguements may have merit but that’s a fortunate side note at best. All these kids are doing is saying that their generation is too lazy to formulate independent ideas. The MTV generation is the beginning of the end for our society. Like Mom used to tell me, rules only bother the people that plan to break them.
- I was pissed that Circuit City was firing people. Until SDFM told me that she still has a job. Now I really don’t give a flying fuck. It’s too bad they cut her current BF, but he should be fine in a week or so. Think they can out source the sales force to India or Pakistan? That’s the next step in the process.
- TV causes kids to be fat? That’s a crock of shit. Parents not doing their job teaching kids what to eat and making them play outside is what makes kids fat. This is smoke screen for adults who would rather have someone to blame than take responsibility for their own failings.
- We’re winning the Global War on Terror because Iraqi bloggers are happy. That’s a really good metric to use.
- If school girls are dumb enough to give someone pictures of themselves naked, they deserve whatever comes from it. Life is hard. Being dumb makes it harder.
- Even with Tiger pushing for a quality event in DC the PGA is still going to screw us. Tim Finchem deserves a flaming hot poker shoved up his ass.
That’s it. Time to do some work.
I don’t know who complains more my kids or my co-workers but some one is always whining about how bad life is screwing them over. Most of the time though it’s just them not wanting to live up to their responsibilities as individuals that were designed to walk upright. I’ve about had my fill, so I’m posting this list of rules that we’ve all seen a couple of hundred times. Just in case anyone needs to be reminded again. Feel free to distribute as needed.
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.
