Computation, Caffeination, and Conflagration

With the recent departure of my boss Dave, I am now the only software monkey in Yahoo's Santa Monica Colorado Center. There are art directors, flash animators, HTML designers, project managers, product managers, bosses, bosses' bosses, bosses' bosses' bosses, and me. My Nerf weaponry is no match for their battle-hardened armor of bureaucracy.

And as though this office weren't isolated enough, the Internet is now broken. This multi-squillion dollar web company maybe didn't pay their internet bill this month, cuz all of a sudden, my "productive and essential Internet research" is at a standstill pending network connectivity. My one remaining option is to perform my duties using resources available on the intranet, or within arms reach. I think I'll go fetch some hot chocolate.

*sigh*
