Oh Yes I Did

Finally, finally, they’ve taken the biggest productivity disenhancer in this office off the net.  Maybe we can get something done now that the entire support staff in this office isn’t sitting enraptured in front of a webcam viewer to watch that damned Knut the Polar Bear Cub stumble and tumble around like the ruthless carnivore-in-training that he is. 

I’ve got nothing against polar bear cubs, mind you, so long as they know their place and keep to it.  Frozen iceshelves?  Fine and dandy. Zoos and preserves?  Sounds good to me.  Constantly charging around the Admin Assistant’s computer monitor so she has to stop working and just gape and coo with delight at his every bowel movement and ass-scratching?  Not. So. Much. 

Well it seems that the gods of dentistry have taken up my plight and put the fuzzy little eviscerator in a bad mood - he’s teething and apparently not so goddamn cute anymore, so they’ve taken him off the air.  And I can live with that.  The internet is for political updates, funny acronyms, and instant messaging.  I don’t really need it to update me on fuzzy bunnies, baskets of baby chickens, or other glurge.  And as far as showing me baby polar bears, I say, no Knuts is good Knuts.
