The 8th Floor
The floor where all things are possible.
Never made it as a wise man,
I’m just stuck here staring at the ceiling
Ducking, dodging that dude Ivan
I really need a coffee but I’m dealing
What once was a mystery;
A dream for a fool,
Is now ancient history
From here, I rule
The 8th floor, where I seek refuge
Gives me life, and an occasional snack
Some say I don’t belong, but I’m no stooge
‘Fore I must getaway somewhere to slack
It is here that I get my caffeine fix
And a soft place to relax my booty
Although I wish there were Chex mix
To stop me from being so moody
I take advantage while I can
Alas, within a month, I’ll be free
O 8th floor, I am your biggest fan
How could I possibly replace thee?
(cheers to those who got my Nickelback reference)

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
