I, nerd

My supervisor at work was rather concerned the other day when she found me with dictaphone in hand recording the sound of the faulty office fax machine.

"What a fantastic noise," says I. "I could use that for a piece of music; stick it through a low frequency oscillator and a phasing resonant filter... perfect for background ambience."

She looked at me pitifully. "We really need to find you a girlfriend," she said.
