Morning Observations...

While making my way to ye ole' cubicle this morning I observed:

1. Old Man McFogieguy come to a complete stop in the middle of the road to answer his cell phone. Options... answer the phone while driving (ugh), stop in the middle of the road (are you kidding me?), pull to one side of the road and turn on your hazards.

2. Miss America in her dad's F150 making rotations for 75 MPH, while applying makeup. Apparently the hour devoted to this endeavor, at home, was insufficient... I'll let you interpret that as you wish.

3. Eight people in line at the office ATM. Hmmm... I guess we got paid last night. Why is there always one individual in front of me trying to open a trust fund at these things? Furthermore, why is there a sign on it reading "This ATM is equipped with audio assistance devices for the visually impaired"? That sign isn't in braille... this ranks right up there with braille on drive through ATMs.

4. The crew in our lovely halfateria was joyously playing M.C. Hammer's "Can't Touch This". Scary, man, scary.

5. Today's headline "OUR TSUNAMI!" (warning, PDF file). Pretty much. I wonder if any of the high and mighty countries around the world will render aid... or if we get to go this natural disaster alone.

6. Many advertisements announcing that the bloodsuckers will be at my office next Wednesday, Thursday (I think I'll give blood on the ole birthday) and Friday. Likewise, they're collaborating with 99.5 KISS FM, tomorrow for the annual "Kiss Rock and Roll Up Your Sleeve Blooddrive". If you're in the San Antonio area, you should look into it. The bloodsuckers make me pound my head against my desk when their number appears on the phone, but it is probably one of the best charitable donations one can make without spending a cent.
