Silence of the Goats 2... (we don't have lambs here...yet...)

The sky was bright... the clouds were high... the field was empty. The grass was green... the sky was gray... the clouds unaccounted. A few hundred metres away, a herd of H.U.M.A.N.S. were gathering near ColourBend Corporation, an evil and tormentous company aimed at slaughtering H.U.M.A.N.S. for financial gain.

As the herd grazed lazily in the surroundings, breathing in the carbon monoxide infested air as they crowded around and blocked traffic. Two minutes before the slaughtering was to commence, the herd, as if mind controlled by some er.... didn't we do this yesterday? And the day before? And the day before that?

The simple monotony of working life... mundane...

Silence of the Goats... (we don't have lambs here...)

The sky was bright... the clouds were high... the field was empty. The grass was green... the sky was gray... the clouds unaccounted. A few hundred metres away, a herd of H.U.M.A.N.S. (Hungry Unfocused Misunderstood Animals Manipulating Neural Synapses) were gathering near COlourBend Corporation, an evil and tormentous company aimed at slaughtering H.U.M.A.N.S. for financial gain.

As the herd grazed lazily in the surroundings, breathing in the carbon monoxide infested air as they crowded around and blocked traffic. Two minutes before the slaughtering was to commence,the herd, as if mind controlled by some higher entity, slowly edged towards the death-marker, (a machine which stamps a mark on the H.U.M.A.N.S. and labels them fit for the slaughter) all at once, again blocking traffic and causing even more congestion to the already congested slaughter house.

After the death-marker had done it's job, the H.U.M.A.N.S. moved to their respective holding pens and await the slaughtering. True to the second, the bell rang and the machines came to life. Forklifts, trucks, and many other contraptions for which their purposes are better left to the imagination.

Away in a small office in a small schecluded corner of the slaughterhouse, a group of H.U.M.A.N.S. in office-wear lingered aimlessly. With almost zombie-like grace, they switched on their zombie-chargers, machines made to increase zombieism and to transform potentially healthy (although there aren't any found to date) H.U.M.A.N.S. into lifeless Z.O.M.B.I.E.S. (Zoned Out Mammals Becoming Intellectually-devoid of Emotions and Senses)

The time is now 8.35 a.m... Let the Slaughter begin!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!!!!

Colleague #1: Rantings of an Errant Colleague

I am chatting. I am chatting... I am still chatting. Will I never stop chatting? Will I die if I ever stop chatting? No... yes... I just might. The boredom. The monotony of working here. The doomlike feeling of being watched by my immediate supervisor!

But I don't care! I don't care what he sees or what he does or says. I'm gonna chat all day. And when I get back, I'm going to chat somemore. And then tomorrow, I shall chat and gossip again.

I am so sick of my immediate supervisor. He is so anal-retentive, I tell you, he is so anal. He keeps on looking past my shoulder to see if I am working or not, but I don't care. I don't want to work. I don't like to work. I'm just gonna sit there and chat with colleague #2 for as much as I want, and I don't care what he says or does or sees because all I wanna do is chat!

The system is so screwed. Why is he so uptight about people working all the time? Doesn't the term 'break' makes any sense to him? Why can't he see that I'm only human? Why doesn't he realise that the average human attention span is only five minutes? How can he expect me to sit there for ten minutes actually doing work? It's preposterous!

What more can he expect of me when he comes in late everyday? Not only that, he takes the occasional nap and actually expects me to work? What is this? And if that's not bad enough, he expects us to stay back when he himself doesn't!

And he's always complaining about my work! Redo redo redo! Always asking me to redo my work! What's wrong with my work? I'm a graduate for crying out loud! He is always demanding that I show him my work in progress! Then he will ask me to change this and that! Doesn't he know how hard it is to do it in the first place? Doesn't he know it took me a whole day of chatting to finish just two minutes of cheap flash animation? Well, I'm not going to spend another day chatting about the smae thing just to do 'his' corrections! I'm gonna do something else and chat about something else with colleague #2!!! So there!

And what's this about my work being of low quality? I'm graduate remember??? How else will I graduate if my work is not industrial quality? Answer that, you spineless, evil, nose-picking immediate supervisor! You can rot in heck for all I care! I am never gonna listen to you! Never! I will never be nic to you, never! I will never do any work, never! And I will never stop chatting. Yeah, you guessed it, NEVER!!!

Now what was it I was saying to colleague #2? Oh, right... cantonese idols... oooh....
