I’m Surrounded By Idiots
Conversation with a co-worker, who shall remain nameless:
Her: Is anybody any good at Fireworks?
Me: Yeh; you just light the blue touchpaper and run. But seriously, you ought'a be using Corel Photo-Paint.
(I wander over to her desk, and see that she's working with a bitmapped image of our logo - she's trying to remove some of … -

That of seeing myself in a moment,
Stares ahead.
Always been an existential touch,

Dadadodo: Exterminate All Rational Thought
