Expect the Unexpected

Driving home from work tonight I was stopped beside a mid-90s Corolla. The car was dirty and driven by what appeared to be an young twentysomething dork. Skinny, short hair, not the type that from appearance seemed unremarkable. Until he pulled ahead when the light changed and this is what was on the back of the car.

I laughed my ass off all of the way home.

I'm sure the novelty will wear off soon

It's snowing! I know that to most people that is not terribly special as it is a common occurrence, but come on, this is Texas. We get ice and sleet every now and then but snow? Two days ago I was wearing a tank top and was comfortable. Today I wake up to discover fluffy little cotton balls of snow falling outside my apartment. I tried to take some pictures but all I got was little white specks and some snow on the balcony. Which, as it had already landed, looked like ice and not snow. Disappointing.

But we finally get a day that seems like a real winter! I didn't figure that would happen for another 5 years or so from the pattern shifts. Perhaps the world is ending a little earlier than expected.

Damnit, it stopped. If the snow starts again and sticks a little it should be made into a holiday so I can make a mini snowman instead of going to work.

It's a Dumbass Kind of Day

Try naming 3 co-workers this does not describe

Baudad: n. - an idle, markedly stupid individual who believes just about anything and is a half-witted gossip

Give Him a Goddamn Seeing Eye Mini-Horse

They should have just taken his eyeballs out. Evidently he is too dumb to deserve vision.

All in the Same Show

This is why I like fashion. True, it is not exacly approriate for work tomorrow, but fantastic nonetheless.

Same as: exhibit a, exhibit b (ignore the model, she is hideous), or the simplicity of exhibit c.

This is why not. Same collection: bad exhibit z, exhibit y or exhibit x

So, tonight I told Adrian how I was going to die early thanks to new research showing how cynicism is linked to cardiovascular disease. And then he reminded me of how unlikely this is as it would require me to "have a heart to begin with."

I feel much better.

Oh, What a Fun Day It Would Be!!

"We will be looking at if and how we can integrate the embedded product into existing Fujitsu products, like self-checkout devices, or our handheld platform or point-of-sale terminals," says Beecher. These applications would be used for reading item-level RFID tags.

And of course, this explains the entire point of having the downstairs breakroom turned into a grocery store mock-up for the past year.

Grrrrrr

I felt this as I left IKEA after buying a replacement bulb for Adrian's glass case. An insane, unreasonable anger that has been welling up for a very long time. It likes to typically sit right below the surface, simmering for the next chance to explode. I just wish I knew the cause and the reason. An article I read listed the reason for anger as either fear, boredom of frustration ot a combionation of all three. I can reasonably say all qualify in different forms and with different values to each. Unfortunately, the values have not been fully decided.

Something needs to change, I am just unsure at this time what that is.
