This Is Me Counting the Days to an Eventual Burnout*

There's nothing to write. I'm tired of being around words and letters, that's why.

In one of our afternoon breaks, I realized I wasn't the only one. Most of the c------ e------s I know have shunned blogging and posting in online forums altogether. Our problem: we pay too much attention to punctuation to even care about content. Yuh. It's just too hard to pay attention to the inner crappings of my mind when I can hear The Chicago Manual of Style whispering in my ear as I type.

And for those who ask what do I do: I am the master of the comma.

*I kid. Of course I love my job. God bless my job. It feeds my strong consumerist tendencies.

A lot of people I've met tell me that I'm too quiet; as a result, I have come to believe it myself. However, as one friend so perfectly put it: My silence can be deafening, but my noise can be just as deafening. Because of my retiring nature, some people also have the impression that I'm kind, polite and naive. Perhaps, my blog will wipe out their misguided notions.
