The mind wanders....

It's funny where the mind goes in times of extreme boredom... Here's 10 minutes of my life...I've just started a new job and the early signs are that it is potentially the most mind-numbing existence ever.... What has come of the world when the people are just like trained monkeys who do nothing but press buttons on a computer??

I have 2 arms and 2 legs... I am designed to move and be free. Ok of course I would sit down occassionally but I would never spend 9hrs a day sat at desk with everyone around me in their own little computerised world. I have been here for nearly an hour without speaking to anyone, despite having at least 100 people on my floor of the building. All I can hear is phones ringing and keyboard keys being punched. Is this really a healthy existence for an any creature?

I couldn't imagine any other animal on the planet standing for it.... Supposedly the most advanced and evolved creature of all, humans, have only managed to make the world more complicated, more frustrating and less enjoyable.

I am a lazy bastard and I just want to be left alone to chill the hell out.... Everyone loves lazy animals... the chubby yet adorable dog that sits in the corner quietly in the best sort.... but when it comes to people, the lazy are treated like the scurge of society. It's bollocks to be frank... I don't want to work 40hrs a week earning a pittence, I'd rather accept the fact I was broke and just deal with it. I don't need megafast broadband connection, I don't want to carry a mobile phone and be tracked, I'd even give up my bike if it meant I would granted freedom.

What the hell is the point of working so much that when you finish there's no time to ride the bike you work so hard to afford?? It's a f*ckin con I tell ya!

Enough of me ranting, just had to get it off my chest.

I think I need a ride more than ever, need to catch up with my bros and rip the trails. One of the few things left in the world that are truly awesome.

 you missed the 'D' on delveloped. HAA but in all seriousness i agree with 100%, i would hate to be an office monkey and i feel very sorry for you and hope things get better!
I quite enjoyed reading your ten miniutes to be fair.. very truthful. BUUUT the bit about a human who was like a lazy quiet dog, i wouldnt like them and i think that they should be shot if they existed(which they do and i feel the same) as they arent productive and useless to "evolution" as if we all started off like that nothing would of happend and we would all die! ANNND if every one was like that no trails would get dug!.. infact i think i may go shoot myself as i feel im abit of a dog at digging... GOOD BYE.
