I'm Back

I am back, and all in one piece. I was away for some time, and unable to check in with this blog.

I was kidnapped by a rather ill-tempered goblin who inhabits our office. He feeds off of discarded printer paper, paper clips, and other such fare. He spends most of his time sneaking around causing fax machines to malfunction, printers to get jammed, computers to crash, and that kind of thing.

At the dawn of when sexual harassment in the office became wrong and punishable, he was known to whisper particularly vulgar come-ons into the ears of office cads and 'good ol' boys' talking to attractive co-workers. His nefarious influence in this regard led to numerous disciplinary actions being taken against those who had been "taken" under his influence, up to and including firings of many men who were competent workers/not-so-competent flirters.

At any rate, he kidnapped me one night when I was working late, and put me in an empty cubicle, with four sides rather than three, thus rendering it unescapable.

I have been trapped there the past three weeks, until finally one of my co-workers found one of the "rescue me" paper airplanes I had thrown over the threshold of the entrapping cubicle (fortunately, I was a carrying a pen and legal pad at the time of the kidnapping).

By the way, Bic ink does not make for a bad cocktail at all once one grows particularly thirsty.

To make a short story shorter, I was rescued and am back, and now very wary with regards to the mischief of previously described goblin.

Were he here, in front of me now, I would have only this to say: "Vive la blog!"
