For about two and a half years, I worked full-time and then some at a miserable warehouse packing job. About a year into the job I was finally trained in the product confirmation system, giving me semi-regular access to a computer. While the thought did not immediately occur to me, eventually misery and boredom reached the point to where I was driven to seek out means of entertaining myself at my job. After a few months working in product confirmation, I realized that there were no restrictions on my ability to create text documents and open notepad on the computers I worked with. What follows is the corpus of ASCII text art I sporatically worked on over the remaining year I spent employed at that warehouse.

My god, surely there's gotta be some better way of doing this than by replacing all these spaces with "nbsp" right?
