my team will be disbanded in december. i should probably be much more concerned than i am. i have survived countless rounds of layoffs in the past.

i believe it's a survival of the fittest. got me thinking... what unique genetic traits do i possess, aiding me in survival of the cube farm?

my colossal height - most managers are short despicable people, my height easily allows me to see over the cube walls. sort of an early detection system. i'm a long gone daddy before they ever arrive.

my extremely large head - most managers are also simple folk and easily distracted. just the sight of my large cranium can completely derail conversations. an intended discussion of lay-offs turns into a discussion of planets, or balloons or other such large round objects.

my faulty short term memory - i am fairly certain i've been fired many times but by the next morning i have forgotten and i just keep showing up.

my abnormally small orifice - the dirtiest of all my orifices is abnormally small. teeny tiny. one could claim it is nearly ultramicroscopic. it is nearly impossible to pass anything thicker than a pencil. the analogy of an elephant through a key hole comes to mind. any way, this malformed orifice results in frequent and lengthy trips to the men's room. most managers will not fire you when you're makin' mud.
