Digging through some old files that had been burned to CD, way back when, yielded this artifact:

I have no idea what I was working on, back on October 12, 2001, but obviously I felt the need to blow off some steam in the manner portrayed above.
(It is, of course, based on the well-known screed "Adminspotting", which in turn was derived from those immortal words out of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting.)

I could have used that during my incarnation as a tech writer.
When I landed my first tech writing job, I didn't even have a cubicle, just a desk in a hallway. I printed out a sheet of paper with "IWTFM" in letters big enough to fill the sheet, and taped it to the wall.
The initials stood, of course, for "I Write The F***ing Manual". But since this job was at a Wall Street firm, most people who passed by thought it stood for "I Want The F***ing Money".

It's all too, brutally funny in a sad but true kind of way.
