Vending Machines in Work Places

First of all, a little note about why I decided to create a blog. Lately, I've been reading the blog Hyperbole and a Half and I've been getting cramps at how much that website is hilarious. So, this blog will be inspired from it and hopefully, will grow to have its own style. I do plan to make ridiculous and ugly drawings too, as some people might know of my awesome drawing skills.

Second, I think that there's time that I'm just so retarded and stupid that it's worth writing them down somewhere, so why not a blog? Also, as long as I remember that I'm doing this for myself and not for popularity, I shouldn't have any problems. (Yeah, right...) This should be only a reminder of how many stupid things there can be in one individual's life.

Third, now is the time to stop being all serious!

This is a conversation that actually happened while I was at work today:

Superior: "Oh... Did you see that email about the vending machines? They are going to up the prices again."

Coworker: "It's going to be cheaper to just go downstairs now..."

Me: "Well, what could be cheaper would be to buy a potato, cut it, bake it and eat it."

There was a little pause here.

Me: "Well, it could be even cheaper to just grow your own potato and do the same process."

Superior: "What about soil? Fertilizer? Time consumed?"

Me: "You can just use someone else's land..."

Again, a short pause.

Me: "But if you're going to steal something, you might as well just steal a potato chip bag in the first place. Less bothersome."

Superior: "Amazing how you managed to prove your point and destroy your reasoning in less than a minute..."

Me: "I'm THAT good."


Ok, it's not exactly those words that were used but it's pretty much how the conversation went. There's just a part in me that loves to explain things with too much details only to destroy everything I've build within mere seconds. I think it's part of human nature, like making tall building and having planes crash into them. If all buildings were equipped with a King Kong, that wouldn't happen.

I've also been talking about spiders and crawlies quite often and I've decided to make a graph to illustrate the correlation between the number of legs and the grossness:



I think it's self-explanatory.

That's it for today's post! Hopefully I'll have more tomorrow!

P.S. Before anyone asks, the title of my blog is lyrics from one of my favorite song...

First post of my new blog!

Being currently at work, I will keep this first post as very simple:


There's a few numbers of issues we encounter at work and here's one:




As you can see, even Internet Explorer itself claims to be shitty.


Stay tuned, I will definitely post some more.
