Your Imagination is Endless
I find it horribly ironic that I go to work and then come home from work only to log in to work and work some more. Is this required today? Not really. Could I have just said screw it and gone home to a night of WoW and possibly some much needed pokemon while watching Numb3rs or Nip/Tuck? Sure. Did I choose to do that? No.
I'm super cranky at the moment. Today was a super stressful day at work for me and a co-worker of mine. We're just trying to see things smoothly, and we've not done anything like this before so, we're getting kicked in the shin many times with many little things. I'll just leave it at that.
So, yes, I'm technically "on the clock" right now. I'm waiting for something to do it's thing (build, cough cough/wheeze cough). I realized something - my poor laptop that I work from home (which will be abbreviated hereon out as wfh, thnx Anthony and your working at IBM so acronyms are like second nature to you) is practically on its last legs, but let's face it - poor Tsubasa is probably 6yrs old and isn't good for anything but logging into work, but it's getting bad. I think in the near future I'm going to be putting an XP VM on my desktop and other laptop. How, when I need to wfh, can I wfh when my machine doesn't even want to function. Ugh.
Anyway, the imagination part. I was super tired this morning and I kind of had one of those moments where you sit back and analyze your actions. Part of this stems from watching too much tv, but hey it made the ride to work this morning interesting and just got me plain thinking. There was this Isuzu truck thing behind me and I noticed it had like 5 people in the cabin. That's unusual. Not to mention the driver was female and not some other stereotypical dude. Then, my imagination came up with... "Are the guys sitting in the back seats kidnapping that family?", "What could possibly be in that truck?" "Gee, that's kind of sketchy"
But the thing is, I knew they were fine - I had no indication otherwise as to what was happening in that truck, they were just driving behind me. Nobody was panicked, they weren't driving irradicalty. So... it begs the question "Where did I come up with that?" "Was I just super bored then?" "Have I been watching too much tv?"
From just sitting back and thinking about what I had come up with it just made me wonder what's going through other people's minds as they drive. I, for one, am glad that I cannot hear people's thoughts in my head. I think I would just sit there with my jaw dropped in awe about what just popped into their thoughts.
Oh, look my work isn't done working - look how thrilled I am. *grumble*
