(CONTINUING TO) FIGHT THE POWER!

[omniblob]

i don't have anything to say today but, being at work, it feels like i should bum around on the internet.proxy servers are great, aren't they? i can piss about on w-a-s-t-e- as much as i like and still get paid. nice.the continuing upside of this is that, once at home and back on my own time, i have no excuse not to get on with studying, writing etc. after eight hours on the web (while getting paid, did i mention that?), doing some work actually feels like a better option. good times.it also means i can bother you, my lovely w-a-s-t-e friends, during the day! happy days...please note - i can't accept friend requests, or read private messages at work, as the it department have disabled the java settings on my machine. this led to the following conversation;me- can you give me back permission to alter my settings and internet options?them - what for?me - (noticing my manager listening in) eh, nothing. never mind...anyway, green tea. eh?for the benefit of those of you who didn't know me before (probably all of you, my lovely w-a-s-t-ers, but that doesn't mean you are not valued), i used to be addicted to coffee. when i wrote the book, i was on up to twenty (count 'em!) cups of filter coffee a day. and about twenty minutes sleep, it must be said.nowadays, despite working at the death star, i'm down to one cup, first thing in the morning. how, you may ask, has this been achieved (and why, more importantly, has there never been a tv movie-of-the-week about this triumph)? the answer, is my comically high ingestion of green and fruit tea. typing this is probably the longest i've gone without one, whichreminds me...wait there, won't be long...ahhhh! kettle's back on. okinawan gunpowder tree (with jasmine, please) is like low-grade speed, to me (if without the weight loss). i can't give it up. i won't. if they ever try to ban it, i'll be down the shops with an automatic weapon of some kind. nobody move! this is the green tea liberation front!now, if you'll excuse me, the kettle's just boiled.if you feel that this has been a waste of your time (and i wouldn't blame you), don't complain, dearest w-a-s-t-erels, just make a point of reading my nonsense when you're at work! you'll get paid for it (like me, i think i may have mentioned this).i love you all, feel that love,steve x.
