S-C-A-N-D to the A to the L to the O-U-S.
I typed up everything I wrote in my paper journal this week without editing it or anything. Total random thoughts.
Monday
Entering J's office always makes me think of the Bat Cave. If he's Batman, which one of us is Robin?
Pro-Life people irk me because they only seem to care about creatures without higher brain functions. Like fetuses and coma patients. If they're so gung-ho on life, how do they justify shooting doctors? It's funny how most of them, being right-wing nut jobs, do not support welfare or universal healthcare, yet the expect the mother to take care of this baby she can't take care of in the first place. You don't see Pro-Lifers lining up to adopt either. I could see putting a fetus' "life" over a woman's when survival of the species was an issue. But now? We could do with a few less people.
Why does it seem like most people these days have no concept of personal space? When did this become a culture of entitlement?
Proper capitalization is beginning to elude me. At work, I code in ALLCAPS and IM co-workers in lowercase. Even in emails within group, I skip the formalities. It's getting to the point where I can't see to force myself to mix the two. What would I do without Microsoft programs constantly correcting me?
Tuesday
When I think of that line from MIB about how a person is smart but people are dumb, I think of meetings. The more people attending the meeting, the less productive it is. There is probably an equation for it. [Insert equations and graphs here.]
Wednesday
I really don't understand the point of those "if you were stranded on a deserted island…" questions. I mean, doesn't the word "stranded" imply a lack of choice? It's funny how humans will hypothesize about something that will never happen, yet they are never prepared for things that could happen because they don't think about them. You'd kind of have to be fucked up to imagine what you'd do in every possible scenario though; especially if you're not getting paid for it.
It's weird that Easter changes its date every year. Not that any date it's ever been on has been accurate. But, I mean, when have you ever heard of people changing their loved ones' (etc.) date of death? Sorry, the 15th of March isn't working out for me; let's change it to April 19th, okay? Yeah, right. Religion is so fucked up.
Today I saw a guy on the L who looked like he had time traveled from the '50s. Pompadour, cigarette behind his ear and leather jacket. Do people look in the mirror before they leave the house anymore? Or possibly check the calendar to see what decade--century, millennium--we're in?
Okay, seriously, what is up with people still wearing fur coats in this day and age? They're ugly and inhumane. The short ones make me think of 1970s coke whores.
Trains in winter are like giant germ factories.
How is it that old ladies always seem to smell like a combination of Vicks, baby powder and sour milk? Is it the scent of some perfume you can only buy through AARP or something?
Thursday
…
Friday
Why is it when people say "we" they really mean "you"? Especially in the case of work. How shady.
What is up with people not moving over enough when you sit down next to them on the train? I mean, really, the seat is meant for 2 people and I'd rather not get knocked in the arm every time someone walks by.
Anyone who voted for Bush the second time around needs to be voted off the island.
People who constantly read the bible scare me.
Work is crazy but I'm getting a laptop soon which I guess means that I can do even more work? Also, they're using my procedure documents as a template for the rest of the division. Wow, dude.
This song has been stuck in my head for DAYS. Totally proof that Gabe is evil and needs to be stopped.
