Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 20, 2011

Just another day at the office!

Just talk about what you had for lunch. As usual.

Just as well he didn’t post it. No one would believe him anyway.

According to him, the guy just disappeared when he turned his head. He’s probably seen better, though.

the facebook rating pressure gets to everyone sometime or the other. I’ve seen friends say things like “I LIKE Me”, anything to get attention in these busy busy days.

That’s me, always looking the wrong direction… Then hearing about the event later.

I knew there was a reason why I never wanted that job.

Maybe his life would be more interesting without Facebook.

I hate it when that happens…

Hey, not having anything interesting to say doesn’t stop most of the people on Facebook or Twitter.

Birds of prey gotta eat too, ya know.

There was no profit in it so of course some suit in an office wouldn’t give diddley-squat about it.

Reminds me of a whale watching trip I went on out of Gloucester, MA. Three times humpback whales breached (threw themselves out of the water, landing with a huge splash) and every time I was on the wrong side of the boat to get a decent look, let alone a decent picture. At least I knew something had happened and I saw the subsiding splash.

He should have been working instead of playing on FaceBook, You know! Figuring out his Golden Parachute or wondering how much the Japanese disaster is hurting his foreign investments. As it is he thinks a window washer just fell to his death, nothing important.

Hey, MobyD - Don’t feel bad. The only time I have gone on a whale watching trip was in New Zealand. Didn’t see any whales but DID find out why they had airline barf bags in the seat pocket. I didn’t envy the girl whose job it was to collect used barf bags.

Isn’t Spring great, when the birds return to their summer nesting grounds! (Nice little snack there for the hatchlings…)

Is that not the way most of us live our lives?

Don’t we all

The facebook folks saw it all through the camera on his computer which is recording both his obliviousness, AND the window washer and birdie. Technology can make even the most boring- “exciting”!

Hasn’t anyone here seen Q? It’s kind of a cheesy B movie but it’s got decent character acting. There’s a scene where a secretary is talking on the phone while a window washer is working and ogling her, and when she looks away, the movie monster bites his head off. When she looks back out the window there’s a decapitated corpse hanging there.

@ ladyfingers86: It was the first Superman movie, and it was a burglar using giant hand- held and knee- mounted suction cups to climb a glass-sheathed office building. The burglar is climbing when he notices two boots standing on the vertical glass surface. He looks up to see Superman saying “Hello there,” is startled, and falls. Superman then flies down and catches him and, IIRC, hands him over to the Metropolis police. Truly a Crowning Moment Of Funny.

Lie if the truth bores you, it’s not like anyone unbored is reading it.

@Reynard61: That movie had some good moments. I like the scene in which the helicopter is falling and Clark Kent is looking for a place to change. He passes an open phone kiosk, stops, glances at it, shakes his head and hurries on (and changes in a revolving door).

I recommend this!

If he just turned his desk so he could see out his window it would alleviate his boredom and give him something new to look at every day… instead of the flimsy partition walls of his corporate hell. Of course, then anyone entering his office would be able to see that he doesn’t actually do any work and spends all his time on Facebook. Incidentally, I “Liked” this and “Shared” it with my friends. :-)

“Gruesome isn’t it?”

Thankfully the bird of prey was actually a giant rescue passenger pigeon (orthinucus pigeonus gigantus) who safely deposited our window washer on the corner of 53rd and 5th unharmed. Whew!

I think it could be this same buzzard that has stolen away my avatar leaving me with a gray head & shoulders, sporting a big question mark !!!

“Is that all you can do? Bird imitations?”
