The Countdown Begins!

Texas and Fence have had new cubicles constructed just for them, and while still in close proximity these cubicles are far enought away to offer some kind of solace.

These next few could very well be the last few entries that Stupid Cubicle will broadcast out into the blogger rich world.

With renewed vigor here are the highlights from today!


This tidbit of conversation came up right in the middle of one of Texas more famous
technical trainings... I was only able to capture the one side of the conversation because this
training happened to be one of the few phone trainings that didn't take place over speakerphone.

Texas: I don't know everything but I'm a good researcher.
I've been researching tithing, trying to understand it and it's a bunch of Junk. I started with the question "Do you ever remember Adam and Eve tithing?" And I started going through and I just couldn't find an example until you get all the way up to Moses and the tablets... and then I cross referenced it 'cause it's based on my own research and I did't trust it entirely 'cause it's not something I read every day, so I did some cross referencing and there are several famous people with the same opinion and the Encyclopedia Britanica says it was written as law but it was adopted by the church and wasn't made manditory.

later in the same conversation...

Texas: I've read a chinese proverb that kind of makes sense, if you don't change the direction in your head you might end up where you're going.

The training session is winding down...

Texas: You know the difference between a Lawyer and an Attorney? One is assigned to you and the other one you pay for out of your pocket... it's a subtle distinction. You know I learned that in estate planning class.

Lenny Kravitz "American woman" is softly serenading me through the 11 o'clock hour today. I've tried covering up the noise with my ear bud style headphones and NPR's Day to Day but this is not a strong enough concoction to blot out Texas's Tuesday distraction.

Plea for the Day:
Amazon.com please put a rush on those noise cancelling headphones!

Texas: "I feel like a truck hit me today"

Fence: "You're a tree hugger... does that bother you when I say that"

Weed: "as long as you're not saying it to be nasty"

Texas: I can listen to crappy rap music and appreciate it and support it to the end...(in a sing-song voice)--"you know you talk to much, you never shut up..."

RPGs and the Jackson verdict

Texas just can't resist talking about his new RPG game.

Texas 10:00am: "...the circle mage is going to wipe them out. he's an old dwarf who got encapsulated..."

Texas and Fence (briefly breaking from the RPG lectures) 1:40pm: arguing - in detail - the pros and cons of home buying. Fence wants to retire in seven years at 35... which will be hard unless he's going into drug smuggling or as Texas suggests... commodoties!

Texas 4:00pm: "I was reading this guys biography... he was a hyperchondriac"

Texas Sometime after 4: (in reference to the Jackson Trial verdict) "you don't know what you don't know... someone was probably extortin' him."

Texas: "the books are each two inches thick, how many inches did the bookworm eat. I'm just using this as an analogy for the michael jackson stuff... I know where there's smoke there's fire."

4:10 pm Weed and Texas:
Texas: "Had a frustrating weekend."
Weed: "The wife?"
Texas: "No... spellforce."

Back for more blogging

I've renewed my vow to bring all things said in pure stupidity to the masses (or just the few people who share this pain).
In light of the fact that my esteemed colleauge will be moving out of my cubicle farm in the not too distant future, I feel it is my duty to document as much as possible so when the next yahoo moves in I can look back and say "well at least it's not as bad as...".

On to this weeks gems:

Texas: I've revived that one brain cell that was hanging on.

Weed: I'd never buy an SUV

Fence: Yeah, totally... I love my jeep though.
