This morning while walking to work in the rain, both DR and I holding umbrellas, I noticed this woman with one that was all broken… Out loud, I said: “Why would you continue to carry a broke-ass umbrella like that? It’s not even covering her”. Right at that exact moment, my own umbrella broke, the latch that keeps the umbrella open just broke… It wasn’t raining that hard anymore, so I just rolled it up and waited for a big garbage can to throw it in… DR guffawing at me.

It’s always fascinating to me to witness people break the laws and regulations they are in fact hired to uphold. On my way from work today, I saw a cop driving a car and holding a cell phone to her ear not more than one month after we’ve just passed this new law where hand held devices for car drivers are prohibited.

This year I decided to send Christmas cards only to those who have shared theirs with us last year… I was a disappointed to only receive a 3rd of the amount we sent last December. How ironic was it to open up our first Christmas card today sent by someone I didn’t send to.

But worst of all ironies of the day came earlier today.
I have literally just finished reading Lord Of The Flies, having been to school in French, we didn’t have this book on our reading list. It was good read showing how quickly we can turn to savages when the voice of common sense leaves you. So this morning at work, as I went to wash my coffee mug in the kitchen sink, I was greeted to this:
Did we turn into fucking savages???
Not only was it absolutely disgusting that someone thought of leaving this on the tables where most of the office eats their lunch, but the smell that it brought was just vulgar… I didn’t care who did it, all I knew is that I hadn’t de-evolved into an animal and certainly didn’t have to deal with some asshole thinking he could teach a lesson to those who leave their food to rot in the fridge. I just blew up and went to the supervisor’s office to give her a piece of my mind on how ridiculous it was that SHE allowed this to happen in our office and who was going to clean this IMMEDIATELY and get rid of the smell before I called Health and Safety and send us all home for breathing moldy-smelly-rotting food.
I expected to be called back in the office for most of the day to explain my actions, but I guess my message was clear enough…
Next thing you know, a head will be planted on a stick…
That is so nasty. Blech
