An awesome read (For all you people who like reading)

A guy goes to work every day and is annoyed by his coworkers who do stupid crap like shoot each other with nerf guns. The nerf wars get larger and larger until they get desperately out of hand.

I absolutely love this guy's writing style, here's a sample:

I considered making a sign once again, to hang over my computer, but (again) decided that it would attract even more attention than it would deflect. Every time anyone comes into my cubicle, they say the same thing: "You really like Mountain Dew, huh?" Or some variation of that. I’ve started answering with "No, I really hate it." It’s the 20 empty cans piled up next to my monitor. I’d like to get rid of them but I always feel like people are waiting for me to put them in the trash instead of the recycle bin, waiting to leap on me for breaking the unspoken law: "Thou shalt recycle." I wanted to put up a sign that says "No, I don’t like Mountain Dew," which is true, but people would ask me about the sign instead of the cans. Maybe I’ll just switch to something else.

I'm pretty sure its not true, and its loosley based on 'Lord Of The Flies'. I really enjoyed it. Definately worth taking the time out to read it.
