GE-Raven enters the real of the truely techno-elite!
« on: April 03, 2006, 09:50:50 am »
Yes it is true, last week my University bought me a blackberry 7250.  It pretty much rocks.  Internet, Email, Phone, and Remote access to my servers all at my fingertips.

I have to admit it is pretty much sweet.

A Blackberry is really cool for the first month you have it.. then it dawns on you that you can never get away from email.  You'll find yourself on vacation at the beach, with that dam*ed Blackberry in your hand.

It's a leash.

Work gave me one. I f*ckin hate the bastard thing. I get poorly worded emails from people asking me jackass questions. I'd like to drop the damn thing in the toilet and flush it, but they'd just give me another one.

Ya, but then when I turn the bastard thing back on I'd get a flood of emails asking why it was turned off.

Then you need to arrange a better class of minions don't you?

Hey, every evil corporation has its worker retention issues. I tried to solve that problem with canadians...now that was a mistake. Lazy slothfull drunken layabouts who don't even understand the fundamentals of evil!

I'd be trying to kill people with my death ray, and the damn canadian minions would be offering first aid and socalised medical care! Bah! I think I'll try the Irish or the Russians next, they have the proper hatred for the general public built right in.

Try recruiting at Microsoft.  There seems to be some discontent there with the existing evil overlord.  You might even get Steve Ballmer cheap (just keep him supplied with chairs).

...and keep telling him that you'll make sure that all of those treasonous bastards that defected to Google will pay.  I can guarantee that he'll be giddy with bloodlust.
