Journal blinder's Journal: Company Christmas Present 13
so the miserable bastards found me and decided to bestow on me a "christmas present" (my term, i have to put a silver lining on this thing).
my company has been bugging me for a while to "pick up my blackberry." well, i would just usually respond "oh yeah, ok, i'll um, get it later." i've managed to use that for the better part of six months. well, this morning, they came down with a sparkling new blackberry 8700g and had it already configured and set up. oh happy day! another device! another digital tether.
this device is stupidly complex. you wouldn't believe how much "stuff" this thing has... and well, i dunno... i can see its utility, but still man... why!?!
so, now i'm just another cog in the blackberry machine. in a form of protest, i have it clipped to the *inside* of my pocket and i shall never be so crass as to clip the darn thing to my belt. i've always hated that batman look anyway. unless of course they give me a grappling hook gun. then, i'll clip it to my belt.
oh well. i have to get back to work. i'm supposed to be in a meeting. i'm reminded of one of my favorite lines from a very cool movie ("swimming with sharks") "a meeting they can't start without is the only meeting worth going to."
hehehe... kevin spacey is the cool.

It probably helps that I'm the only person here at work who knows my blackberry's e-mail address, and it only recieves automated messages from systems I need to monitor. Which is still a lot, but it's way faster than SMS paging and way more detailed in t
