Ahem. A note from management

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

We are investigating to see if a certain blogger had a little too much last night, and apparently a little is all it takes some days. We are reasonably sure that said blogger was a royal PITA to several friends that just happened to be in the wrong place (at their computer) at the wrong time (or is that a long time?). Said blogger has stated his regrets, and will be dealt with according to established policy (unless anyone cares to recommend something).

Thank you. Carry on.

If I can’t be a good example…

Then I can at least be a warning to others.

Good reasons not to blog after you’ve been drinking and/or depressed:

  1. you start to question everything, including your own sanity.
  2. you imagine the “worst case scenario,” such as telling your kids why you’re not going to be around anymore
  3. you bug the living shit out of your friends when all they want to do is help you
  4. you know you shouldn’t write shit like this but do it anyway
