The ninja way

As you sit in your office today staring at the screen, take a moment to comtemplate, who is a ninja in disguise. They are all around you obviously, repeating last night's scenes of naruto in their head. You can see it in the way they practise their art by side stepping in the office around the transparent glass walls of the boss's office.

I personally know an office ninja. Stealth and cunningness are his two main weapons. His location is suppose to be a particular desk but when you do go looking for him, he is never there. For a ninja can not be found, a ninja will find you. I have been let in on his secret, I often wonder where these office ninjas' lie in wait for their prey, he told me that he usually waits in a pantry at a different floor from his work location, slumped low on the couch in that corner, facing the wall. Its apparently most effective when he is asleep as it ensure zero movement which is what office ninja's strive for in the stationary position. The blending of his silhouette into the passive furniture ensures his lethal strike will be effective against those who past or avoiding the 'mentor'. Unagi, use it or lose it.

I plan to study the ways of a ninja too. I will be going through wikipedia to immerse myself in the history and its identity. For if you do not know the ninja way, how would you know to defend yourself? I have been practising the act of stillness recently and I am pleased to note that I have now obtained the skill of "asleep but appearing to do work when seen from the back" which I believe is a level 6 ability which is used with devastating results. The only unfortunate drawback is when the screensaver kicks in after you idle for too long. I do hope to level up and take these set of skills so much further. For you never know when being a ninja might come in handy.
