I was re-examining my RB situation (again)

I was re-examining my RB situation (again) for the fantasy football playoffs just as the boss walked in. I Ctrl-Tab'ed to an accounting spreadsheet but he said "Hey Bob, you workin

on that chart of keyboard shortcuts for me?" I switched to my smartphone to check Frank Gore's fantasy numbers as I said, "Yessir, I'll Ctrl-P it this afternoon." I would forget

much of that day because a micro-space ship drilled into my mind after landing in my ear. The tiny aliens mined deep into my limbic system and attached these strange looking

silvery bugs. They ate my bad memories & crapped out good memories. The longer I was infested, the happier I became. Once I was too blissful to mind, a million aliens lifted me up

and transported me to their ship. I was on my way to Better Earth; no war or conflict,no misunderstandings. Some called it heaven, but in a dark and hidden recess of my mind I knew

then proceeded to chew up and spit out. I wondered upon the futility of this exercise and awkwardly departed from the queue. The camels had taken over, I realized. On hump-day.
