Wow, it's gonna be a slow day at work today. It's only 9:00am and I'm already blogging. Work has been icky as usual. Last week 73 people were let go from the company. This has left a few things in disarray. I'm currently working on quite a few things for training right now, but let me sum up how the company's "restructuring" has completely doinked one project. Since talking about work and how someone was taking complex visio flows for a new workflow process and translating them into step-by-step online documentation can be boring and/or difficult to describe, I shall use pirate metaphors.

Captain: Yarrr! We are sailing on a journey to greatness! But I wish to enjoy a greater share of the plunder. I shall make several members of my crew walk the plank... Yarrr!

Splash, splash, splash, splash (that's people falling into the water after walking the plank). Several days later...

Pirate 1: Having sailed through those treacherous seas, let us resume our pirate work and get the buried treasure! Hand me the treasure map!
Pirate 2 (checking pockets): Um...
Pirate 1: The trasure map, man! Yarrr!
Pirate 2: Methinks we tossed the holder of the map overboard.
Pirate 1: Then get me the map holder's immediate supervisor!
Pirate 2: Yarrr! He walked the plank as well.
Pirate 1: Yarrr (this is a sad yarrr). THE END
