Entry #1: Status Update

 “You keep a journal already” the minions said. “Why not post it online?”

Because it's dumb, ok? These are the same guys who said I should get a Twitter account to keep everyone up to date on what I was doing. Not only did that work out badly, but it also tipped off the Justice Brigade about me taking over Egypt. Corporal Crosshairs still hasn't replaced my phone! I'm stuck with using a crappy TracFone instead of my ultra cool Windows 7 Phone!

So I am doing it. Maybe I am just too trusting of my minions. #876 is fairly trust worthy after all. He help keep Ice Cream Thursday in the cafeteria a secret. And he even managed to catch Agent #42 once! He got away and killed 17 minions during his escape, but I can't remember the last time a minion caught a secret agent by knocking him out with a door. I knew not going with all sliding doors was a good idea.

Quick update on current projects. The R&D Monkeys are working on redesigning the Weather Control Device. After the last couple of winters we have to be able to control the weather better if we want to use it to take over the planet.

The main project is of course the Drunk Design Device. We would have been done with it by now if we hadn't been shut down by OSHA for a while. Who knew that it was unsafe to work around unshielded nuclear reactors all day every day. And for those of you wondering, yes we are working on some sort of support program for those of you who grew extra limbs or a third eye as a result. No it does not involve feeding you to sharks. A few might be thrown into the Sarlaac pit, but none will be fed to sharks.

Did I say Sarlaac pit? I meant...um...you will not be killed in any way and any rumors to the contrary are in fact just that. Rumors.

Finally, before I forget, next Thursday is Take Your Daughter To Work Day. Feel free to bring them with and hopefully get them thinking about a career in villainy. Surprisingly enough, female minions are not that common, and the more there are, the harder it will be fore feminist groups to get mad at us. However, if you work in the Chronology lab, please do not bring your daughters!!!! We all remember what happened to little Suzy Schwartz and her class mates. The world could probably do with one less second grade class being turned into eight year old octogenarians.

On a related note, please make sure your kids don't take anything you brought home from work to school for show and tell. I think we can all agree that would probably be a bad thing if they did that.

That's it for now. Keep up the good work everyone. Have a safe and productive day.
