Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
I suggest an hour and 20 minutes of Inforoo with a 20 minute corn break in the middle.
Sounds like a plan. Throw in a few wanderings around the building and a few walks into a lab to look important and I think I'll be all set. Maybe I'll even get to leave early today since i've been working so hard
My cell phone is possessed... It will just be sitting there, idle, and out of nowhere it will start entering different screens... it will even go to the internet WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE.
What in the hell is going on? This is the second phone of the same type I've gone through in a half of a year... It's the company's "free" phone, so I guess I'll just have to spend some money on a new phone that will actually work for more than a half a year.

I just had a really nice chat with two very well dressed Mormons who came to my door "selling" their religion. They were actually very respectful of my non-religion and were a pleasure to chat with. Why can't Jehovah's Witnesses be that cool?
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...

...why can't all door-to-door Mormons be that cool?
I've yet to find a religion salesperson who is tolerant of my lack of interest...

This certainly wasn't my first time being approached my the traveling Mormons, but these two were certainly the most tolerant/tolerable. We talked about geology, time travel, and camping. It was a good time. I kind of miss them. . .

Maybe I could blow something up and blame it on her...
She obviously underestimated my bullshittery though... I just explained to the boss that I haven't been completely unproductive but instead I've been running experiments which require waiting several hours to complete (which was true last week) and that I've been busy doing the necessary calculations and research so that I know what to expect from the results. Lucky me I never clean anything up so my week old experiments were still sitting out and look like they're in progress. And I even had the web history to prove that I've looked random bits of information up...
The fact is, by the time I need to provide any results everything will be done... so nobody should really be annoyed by my lack of effort right now. Especially a quacking intern
oooh... look at the time. Looks like it's time for my cig break at work
^^^I just don't get it at all - I have this vision of her running to your boss saying "He's not working - I have to do everything and he is not doing anything"
I mean - I realize ya'll are interns - but damn - glad she does not work here - because I would be scheming for her to be out on her ass before she knew what hit her

Well it basically happened because she noticed I was just mindlessly hitting a calculator every time somebody of importance walked by and she asked what I was doing, to which I replied "waiting for 5 oclock" and she looked at my computer and saw that I was reading up on the primary nonsense and just got up and left a bit annoyed at my lack of productivity at the moment.
She then came back 5 minutes later with a gleeful smile on her face so I pretty much knew what was up so I deleted certain web history and updated it to make it look better in the few moments it took the boss to ask me what my progress for the day has been
^^^I predict that she will not last long in the real working world - she obviously has no sense of teamwork at all - it's supposed to be the underlings against managements - not people who kiss ass

I assure you, she will get hers eventually... I may even have to go as far as to purchase those lovely beepers from thinkgeek
....and with that I'm calling it a day. I had no intentions of being successful in an 8 hour (rounded up...) workday consisting of absolutely no work, but am quite pleased with the outcome ;D
