Thoughts about our current existence

Discussing the underlying philosophy of your dissatisfaction is cool. Espousing an inherently political talking point is a different thing....

Discuss the reality, don't start fights over reality.
Respect your opponents.
Pratice loyalty to a code...

And its all ok.

 

Not political, but a rebuttal of my anarchic philosophy.

I'll agree to disagree.

Would love your contributions to this thread.

 

On my last trip and US one of my Korean friends forgot he had two beers in his backpack as we went through security in the airport. They gave him the option of drinking them or turn them in to be thrown away. In true Koran fashion he drink them both.

That is awesome!

 

I have a problem when this goal is forgotten and managing the crisis becomes the paradigm.

My daughter is working with a Manager who has been elevated to just beyond her competency. Everything is putting out fires. There are no proactive decisions being made. Frustrating when she sees the solutions, but can't get the Boss to fix the problems.

 

No doubt she also insists on using the wrong cover sheets for the TPS reports despite having read the memo.

 

Someone at the gym put up the That Would Be Great poster, in reference to"............if you could return the weights to their proper places".

 

Only systems managers get the promotions. This serves the usury/finance crowd much better than people trying to invoke common sense, or heaven forbid, "ethical solutions".

 

That's a Roger .

 

Um..no... that's a pig.

 

de be dee be dee bee dee be dee I suppose you're right.

 

Why is there good luck and bad luck, but no neutral luck?

 

I can't even, but then I had no plans to anyway.

 

Putting on my Cliff Clavin hat, I would have to say that neutral luck is the kind of luck that one "expected to have anyway" when pursuing a challenge.

 

I am unable to begin to can’t even...

 

I was fixing to think about getting ready to, but you've changed my mind.

 

I’m a bad influence like that...

 

Not necessarily. Depends on which end of the teeter totter you're sitting on.

During random encounters with sales clerks and such they ask," How are you?" My reply is,"'Bout half." After a moment of silence as they process my seemingly nonsense answer, I sometimes see the light come on. Makes for other than standard conversation. Hitting the balance point where no one is bumping my butt on the ground or I'm stuck up in the air? Priceless.

 

Nutritional labels should include a "What if I eat the whole package" section.
