disemboweling the beast
The Lake Erie Water Snakes episode of Dirty Jobs will always be my favorite, but I have to admit that I find myself soothed by the Computer Recycling Plant episode where Mike rips apart some computers and feeds their components through a giant shredder.
I am working right now, and my task has reached the paint-dryingly boring, fist-clenchingly tense, will it work correctly or will I be here all night stage.  I won’t know for another hour. Part of that hour will be spent fantasizing about a job where my only responsibility is smashing computers into the smallest pieces possible, and when they are smashed, going home content in the knowledge that my job is done.

i miss vandalism, do you miss vandalism?
Violence against property can be so cathartic. Busting up some beer bottles with a .22 is alright but it isn’t the same as throwing a brick through a big-ass window. We just smashed some pumpkins off the back deck into the ravine below but that just whetted my appetite. Sometimes I miss the self involved little punk that got to break shit without thinking about the consequences to others.

chaos looms
biological weapons developers and children first
In a nutshell, anyone who received a letter similar to this one was guaranteed a swift exit should a non-fatal nuclear attack occur, followed by relocation to another facility where the BW program could continue. As John Ptak notes, this was essentially a ‘Get Out Of Hell Free’ card.

burning bridges in the park (cameraphone)
Last fall I burned the remaining corporate swag from my last ten years of employment. Awards, logoed golf shirts, anniversary pins, etc. I get rid of most of that stuff as it arrives or I would have had to head out to the country for a bonfire.
