Eggs

Late last night I realized that I was starving because I hadn't had a dinner. Word of advice: don't eat hard-boiled eggs in your bed when you are apt to fall asleep at any moment.

I can't tell what's worse, egg stuck in my sheets or eggshells stuck in my back.

And the open salt shaker didn't help out at all.

Coffee and Destiny

The IT guy in my lab makes coffee every morning in his office and sells it for a quarter a cup. Whenever I pay up, I end up overfilling my cup until it almost spills. The walk back to my office is long and riddled with hairpin turns.

Today I almost had to make the decision that no intern should ever have to make. As he hurriedly turned the corner, I realized the inevitable and asked: will I spill coffee on my boss? or will I spill it on his laptop? Luckily neither had to happen.

In retrospect, I think I would have destroyed his computer. If it splashed on him he would easily become an evil scientist, as most villains on Action/Adventure movies are scientists that have severe skin problems.

He may hate me for destroying his work, but the world will thank me later.

The Computer

I live in a house with the other interns in my program. The computer engineer of our group lives downstairs with a majority of the technology in the house. This includes a computer that very well may become self aware while I live with it.

Every night before I retire to my upstairs bedroom I close the door to the stairway.

I'm pretty sure the supercomputer has enough resources in the basement to either climb stairs or open doors. But hopefully not both.

The Stapler

I went early to work today and got there before my boss. To my surprise, his office door was left open.

He has an old Swingline 407 stapler. The mission will take two boxes of Jell-O.

I hope to God he’s a fan of The Office.
