People Equal ???

Let me preface this by:

This is an observation, not a criticism.

When you leave your computer unlocked where I work, you risk someone going on your machine and e-mailing the department saying you'll be buying Timbits in the morning. This happened to me yesterday.

But we've been getting Timbits weekly, sometimes several times a week, and so I decided to bake some mini cupcakes instead.

I arrived with exactly 31 cupcakes (after giving some to family members), and 12 full-sized doughnuts, for a total of 43 items.

I got roughly about 10 thank yous. That's a 25% thank you to consumption ratio.

That seems low to me, probably because I'm big on thank yous. But I don't wanna write people off as just being jerks, though that might be the case in some people. I guess some are shy, others just busy and forgetful, some just figure it's not a big enough thing to warrant a thank you, etc.

The longer I live, the more I experience a rainbow of personalities. And I'm often left feeling like "man, I just don't -get- people!"

But I keep trying.

I'm Your 21st Century Cure

I eat healthy, and I exercise a ton. By my calculations, I've got liquid gold running through my veins.

It has been a while since I confronted my fear of needles, since I've last given some of my blood to those in need of it, so I'm going to go downtown earlier today and do just that. I even found my Hema-Quebec card.

I hurt my neck while tossing (or should I say whipping around) in my sleep, it's sore as fuck today.

All these grey days are making me melancholic, as I've spent an increasing amount of time sitting at my desk, preparing to ace my Analysis of Markets midterm next week.

And I don't mind it one bit.
