Disturbing behavior…

Yesterday, as I was leaving work I noticed that one of my coworkers has a telescope in his office. Naturally, it’s pointed out the window. Two thoughts raced into my head:

1) We only work during the day.

2) Even if you were here at night, we work in a downtown, urban, hence, well-lit area. Not great for star gazing.

I hope it’s just for decorative purposes because the other options are, well, disturbing…

Then, on the way home last night, stopped at the Taco Bell drive-thru, the woman in front of me was placing her order to the little speaker box, and using hand gestures. While I couldn’t hear what she ordered, I know she wanted 5 of one thing and 3 of another because she held up that many fingers to the box when she ordered. Of course, it was then that I also noticed that her license plate holder was upside down…

Then upon my arrival at home I saw that we had gotten not one, but 2 AOL CD’s in the mail. My first thought was “Oh my god, their software got so big it doesn’t even fit on an f’ing cd anymore!” But that was not the case, they simply sent us two slightly different marketing pieces at the same time! Which, to me, is even more stupid that my first thought, so that just goes to show, never underestimate the level of stupidity in the world, especially at AOL. 🙂

    The concept of realtime blogging at conferences is a bad idea. Not only is it rude to the speakers, because you’re obviously not paying as much attention and thinking about what they are saying, it’s a waste of your time and money. Case in point, how many bloggers have written something like “Missed some stuff…

    I’d have to agree with the PC Doctor on this one: If these companies can’t keep staff from installing software on their PCs then they have a lot more to worry about than this software.
