STORAGE CABINET, ENGCOM – If you’re reading this, I’m already gone. They found me – they got me. I have been subsumed into the giant, inebriated mass that is engineering subculture. Tell my mother I love her, and tell my father when he gets back from the gas station that it shouldn’t take seven years to get Doritos.

Then, against my better judgment, I submitted an article, then another, and then a graphic and BAM now I’m knee-deep in vaguely sexual memes. I have a file on my Mac labelled “Punny Puns That Are Funny Fun” and the only thing in the Word document is an image of a doge dressed as a doge.

Oh no, I hear footsteps. Oh god, they’re getting closer. Shit, I left the cabinet door open. They’re gonna get me, I’m so so so sorry I couldn’t save you Sp-…
GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME, I DON’T WANNA DYE MYSELF PURPLE. NO. NOOOOO.
