Some Monday morning humanity
Posted by Jess in Day to Day

I was thinking about this in the car over the weekend.

Picture the most corporate, busy, always-on-the-phone CEO-type you can think of. Always untouchable, usually a little intimidating, even their name gets talked about with hushed voices.

There's almost a certain mystique about them, a business air that sends out vibes of profit margins, ROI and financials.

Now, I thought of a way to bring a dose of humanity into my thoughts of them.

Picture this very person on Thanksgiving day with NO thoughts of work, dressed in casual clothes, and spending the day carving a turkey and playing with their families, children and/or grandchildren.

On a related note:
I always thought it was neat that so many people hit this blog (Fractals and Thanksgiving Dinner). Then I realized that all this time I had spelled the title wrong, and everyone that was searching for 'Thanskiving' was being sent here. What's even MORE ironic is that the subject of the blog is about college. I can see I learned a lot.

On a different note:
Remember this blog? (The unstoppable G.B.E)
I just got a funny insult/comment posted the other day, and felt compelled to reply. Go take a peek.

That "insult" made no sense at all. Calling someone "a milk" is just plain stupid. "A glass of milk," perhaps, or even a gallon jug of the stuff if you really want to get nasty, but "a milk"? You're dealing with someone who has neither common nor grammatical sense.

(In my part of the world, "homo" refers to homogenized whole milk. "Moron" refers to the sort of person who would use that word as a disparaging epithet.)

I know Stan, I know. It was silly. Luckily he didn't go down the "half-pint" route, WOAH you would have had to hold me back. But then, that's why I didn't bother crying over it. ;-)

LOL, Cindy, you're lucky you're shorter than I am! Not to mention you were in my wedding party. ;-)
