They're a different people, with different customs

Posted on March 31, 2006 at 1:02 PM in 'Miscellaneous' with tags 'poop, business, cell_phones'

Today as I left work, I stopped by the bathroom to do the poop. As I approached, I heard a conversation going on inside the bathroom, and as I stepped through the door, the talking stopped abruptly. I could see there was one guy sitting in a stall, so it was fairly obvious that he had been talking on his cell phone while going to the bathroom. Now, I have no problem pissing with other people in the room, but I generally try to avoid summoning the Masters Of The Universe in the presence of others. The one businessman would have been bad enough, but I certainly wasn't about to poop into the ear of some unknown stranger somewhere in the world. I turned around and headed for the bathroom on the second floor.

I'm sorry, I don't speak Dutch. Do you speak English? It sounds like you're saying that shipping costs will be high. It isn't that bad relative to the
cost of the helicopter itself. Shipping to Holland will be USD $107. I'll send you an invoice for the total amount.

Jared Fogle is insane

Posted on March 4, 2006 at 8:00 AM in 'Miscellaneous' with tags 'work, food, subway, simpsons'

I have no idea how Jared could stand to eat at Subway continuously for so long. I've been going there almost daily for the past six months or so, because it's the only place around here that's open past midnight and has anything vegetarian on the menu. Unfortunately, even there, the only thing I can eat is the Veggie Max, so my daily meal there has become a terribly monotonous experience. Every time I consider the prospect of going to Subway to get another damn Veggie Max, my soul dies a little. It's a lot like how Mayor Quimby feels about his wife (1.3 MB WMV video). It's even worse because Subway is so much more expensive here than it was in Clemson. My daily descents into ennui cost me $7.45 apiece. I really need to start bringing my own food to work more often.
