Whistle While You Work

Published 3.1.05 by Porkchop | E-mail this post

Today was one of those days where you come early, stay late and don't take lunch. Somewhere in the middle of it all you are struck with the overwhelming desire to pour your scorched, bitter and generally vile Maxwell House coffee directly into your hard drive, merely so you can sit on your heels and cackle with triumph, marveling at the fact you are actually in control of something.

There were many interesting variables thrown in to make it a paticularly tiring day. But, from it, I have derived only one thing. I beg of you all, as a New Year's Resolution, if you work in close quarters with other people, DO NOT TALK WHILE YOU WORK. Do not whistle. Do not hum. DO NOT MAKE NOISE. Especially when people are trying to concentrate.

That said and done. I feel that my day has been worthwhile.

This odd narrative is my life. I ended up in Pittsburgh, of all places--from the beach. I have no hobbies, other than cooking excessively and eating microwave popcorn. I enjoy shopping, the Food network, hiding the remote so the Food network cannot be turned off, find ethnic food stores and restaurants and reading voraciously. My life is decidedly pedestrian.

I worked in the car business where I was required to be ruthless and soul-less wench, which is when I started this project. Since then, I've kept it up because secretly, I've always wanted to join the military. Every male in my mother's family has joined and I quietly entertain thoughts of joining. I haven't yet and don't know if I ever will, but sending the troops cookies keeps me sane. it makes me think I still have a shred of human kindness left in my withering soul. it's a small way for me to salute the men and women who are brave enough to fight for freedom. And makes me feel like I'm contributing toward troop morale--even if I'm not. So if you want to help, send me addresses of troops you know stationed overseas. you may also contribute toward the cost of chocolate chips, but don't feel obligated, that link is here only by request.
