Today's work excitement

So, currently, right outside my window is a Coke truck. It tried to exit the parking lot, and bottomed out. It's stuck on the exit ramp. Apparently, it's been there for an hour. There's a another big truck chained to it trying to pull it free. It's not having much success so far. This might take a while.

There's all these people walking around staring at the truck, trying to figure out what to do. Nobody looks particularly happy. There's even a guy taking pictures of the whole thing. I'm not sure why. For posterity, perhaps? Or for insurance purposes?

It's quite a sight. Glad I don't have to pay admission. :)

Meanwhile, have a Coke on me!

Rick Perry rumor

I find this rumor much more amusing than I probably should. I don't believe it for a second, but if it turns out to be true, well, you heard it here first.

For non-Texans, Rick Perry was Bush's lieutenant governor who succeeded him as govenor of Texas.

Lore Sjöberg

Hmmm...

One of the guys behind Brunching Shuttlecock humor site now appears to be writing for Wired.

Weird, I always thought Lore Sjöberg was a fake name.

(no subject)

I've always believed that you should walk a mile in somebody else's shoes before you judge them. So, this morning, I decided to drive to work without using my turn signals. I wanted to know what it was like, if I felt stronger, more powerful, delighting in my disregard of the feelings of others, spurning the very law that had given me the right to drive in the first place. **Evil laugh**

I didn't. I just kind of felt stupid and careless. I couldn't even follow through with it the entire drive to work. When I entered the exit lane, there was someone directly behind me, so I used my turn signal. And when I made a sharp right into my office complex, I used my turn signal so someone wouldn't rear-end me.

I don't think I'll try this experiment again. And now that I've tried it, I can feel better about calling all those people who don't use their turn signal stupid twits.
