Jump! Jump!


Well the office cleanup is proceeding at a very slow rate. It seems that each square foot I tackle contains so much shit that I have to sit and pick through, that it is taking forever. You will all be happy to know that I tossed out all of the old x-rated VHS tapes I had been storing in a drawer. It seems that the older I get, the less use I have for stuff like that. By the way Garet, don't come by and start rummaging through my trashcans, I smashed the things so no little children could stumble upon them and be scarred forever. Another thing I have dug up are old CD's that for the life of me I can't figure out why I bought them in the first place. I'm sure that at some time, in a drunken stupor, I heard Jump by Kris Kross and decided that I absolutely needed that in my CD collection. I have put that one in the trash with the x-rated stuff. One thing I am glad of is that wearing your pants backwards didn't catch on.

Now that I have started pulling things out of corners, and from under the desk, it is clear that I will most definitely have to disinfect. The dirt behind my desk is so thick I think Mark could plant a crop of tomatoes under there. Besides the dirt and grime, there are the cables. Yards and yards of cables, many of which are not even connected to anything, yet were left in place for fear that if I pulled them out, all of my computer equipment would come tumbling after. It's an intricate weave of old cables, dirt, and dog toys under there. I think it is a testament as to how long I have let this room go, the fact that I have allocated two weeks for cleaning it up. By the way, while I was writing this I pulled that Kris Kross CD out of the trash and played it. Maybe I won't throw it out.

  1. Don't you have a Goodwill or Salvation Army down there? Don't throw out CD's! Donate them so that future generations will be able to experience the joy of discovering Kris Kross for the first time!
    And you're not fooling me... It's not your age which has reduced the need for VHS porn, it's the internet!

  4. I think Alan is allergic to "web surfing". That is why he sneezes so much on the keyboard.

  5. Alan, I recommend a nice surgical mask so you don't inhale those strange particles that you are stirring up!
