I <3 IMing

At work we recently began implementing iChat use to improve communication. I find this silly because I haven't logged on to an instant messenger since the AIM days of my freshman year. The good news is that I have a whole new forum to be funny on.

The content of the screenshot below is not what's important. I am using this picture to illustrate a little thing I like to call the IM filibuster.fil-i-bus-ter [fil-uh-buhs-ter] noun

1.

U.S. Politics. a. the use of irregular or obstructive tactics by a member of a legislative assembly to prevent the adoption of a measure generally favored or to force a decision against the will of the majority. b. an exceptionally long speech, as one lasting for a day or days, or a series of such speeches to accomplish this purpose.

Call me mature, but when someone says they will be right back (brb for all you generation y kids) I feel it absolutely necessary to leave as many comments as possible. This particular rant I went off on with Aaron/Lindsay was particularly good, click on the pic for a bigger view to read my LFOish stream of consciousness.

Also, you might notice that the conversation is being held by Flavor Flav and Gene Simmons. Part of my newfound funniness, in addition to excessive smiley usage, includes instigating a company-wide informal buddy icon contest. So far we've had Winston Churchill, a Jolly Rodger flag, Walker Texas Ranger, Alf, Richard Simmons, and a llama. Love my job.
