regfoghornThe wonderful thing about working at a high-tech company is that you don't notice the passage of time in the Real World outside the office. Or anything else, really. Yet you don't have to be a technological wizard. Given that I run the training operation, that's nice.
Which is how it came to be 2:30 in the afternoon before I noticed the end of the world had come upon us.
Now, mind you, when I walked out to the hallway to get to the kitchen, I noticed that the usually-open door to the company next to us was closed, but I assumed that was because they had completed their move-out. I didn't bother looking outside, I knew it was going to be a bright sunny day; what's the point? I don't go out in the sun.
Then my computer calendar's alarm for the Product Plan Review meeting went off, and I knew my doom had arrived. Yes, by 5:45pm I would no longer be a member of Humanity, but one of those who stumble about, dead to all input, ignoring their senses in the hopeless pursuit of an unknown and unreachable goal.
Yes, I would be one of the legions who know not the rays of the sun, or the touch of a zephyr from the west.
A techie. AAAIIIEEEE!
