Time off! I don't have to work tomorrow and I couldn't be more happy! To those who have to work - my sincerest apologies, I will be chillin' at home. Breaks are great!
Interesting people. You know those people that are just a bit different than the norm? They're great and you like them just fine, but there is just something that's unique about them? You know, the ones where they do something or say something and you just are not quite sure how to respond? Such is a kid I know from work. He always sings little songs and cracks jokes while we are working. See, I can see from the corner of my eye that he is laughing his face off and looking in my direction to see if I will do the same. The problem is he's usually not very funny, so I don't know whether to give a fake courtesy laugh, or to smile, or to just ignore. Generally I just pretend I'm not paying attention and keep working intently as his laugh slowly fades. Really nice kid, but I don't know how to act with the guy.
Oprah Winfrey. So I was logging on to the internet the other day and one of the pop-ups from the internet provider was an article about one of the guests on the Oprah show. Perhaps some of you Oprah fans got to see this episode. The guest was a doctor. This was no ordinary doctor...he is an expert in human waste, that's right he is a pooh specialist. I admit I read the whole article, and laughed the whole time! I had to share it with my family too. Who on earth would go in to such a profession, and why did Oprah have him on her show?! It was too funny.
Summer weather! Hallelujah for this nice weather we are having in the blessed land of Utah. I love warm, sunny days. May they last for a long time.
Singing. Today at work I was busting out in song and doing a little head dance to the radio in my back room at work and one of my co-workers caught me. I turned and realized she caught me and felt my face go red as she laughed. I think she thought I was pretty weird, but it was a good song!

Those are some interesting comments. I have a few of my own. But I somehow don't think that anyone will really care about them. Since my whole life is computers and I think about probability theory and how to 3-D images from an unmanned micro aircraft, I am starting to realize how boring my life really is.
I never have time to go fishing, camping, running, play basketball, or do anything else that I actually enjoy doing.
One complaint that has been really nagging me is those in the academic world. We reward those who can play sports well with millions of dollars and then we worship them as gods. But those who obtained advanced degrees and acquire a lot of knowledge, we think of them as nerds and what do they live on? Maybe $100,000 if they're lucky. Seems a little bit weird to me. Where are the millions of dollars for people with PhD's???
There is no need to be embarrassed when you get caught singing...just play it up and make your audience laugh even harder. That is what I do. Laughing is great especially when it is a long day at work. :)
