Tower Of Power

Hi. I'm Jonny Hightower - I'm 34, tall, tired, and within earshot of two balding middle-aged men that are busily exchanging phrases such as "DVD writer", "10 gig!", "hard disk" and other terms which are particular to IT people and other connoisseurs of the ghastly.

These kind gentlemen have shown me that I hate IT people when I'm tired. I hate them and the technology they love, which surprises me, as I am an IT person myself. During the day, when I'm not tired and when things are going my way, I like IT. I even like the odd IT person, and let's face it, they're all odd. If I weren't odd, I wouldn't be up writing this at this ungodly hour. Nonetheless, here I am, and it's proof that I am as hateful, boring and mindless as the drones sitting one table away.

I would say "somebody shoot me", but frankly I think that if you have a gun and you're in my hotel, you're the kind of person who would reap greater benefits from discharging your valuable ammunition into the blokes that are going on about USB interfaces and making the plants wither in their pots. I'm not boring anyone (audibly).

I'm going to bed now, before I'm nasty to anyone else. In the morning, I will meet these men, and think they are decent and likeable human beings. But that will be after I've had a long, deep sleep, and dreamed dreams of dangling the boring boys from the hotel roof using electrified USB-powered testicle clamps. A looooong deeeeeeep sleeeeeeep.
