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. 🙂

    This has been a great weekend for us. We’ve been out, doing fun things, and I’ve had a boatload of opportunities for pictures.

    I need a weekend. Well no, actually, I need to go back to being on vacation. That was fun, this is not. By the way, the big project for the normally slow summer around here has me sitting on the task force to develop an ethics policy for the organization. While I won’t be writing…

    I’ve been watching a discussion take place online the last few days, and now I feel the need to put my 2 cents in. It started with Marc Canter saying that almost nobody reads blogs anymore because of RSS feeds. Then Evan disagreed, and today I noticed Tim Lutero getting into the act by saying…

    Just a quick note to people who do trade show booths. Yeah the show is close to halloween and all that, and yeah I could see where maybe you think giving out candy instead of the usual trade show stuff would be cute and different, but it’s not! We love the stupid little toys and…
