Friday 55 &Da Count-Thwarted

FRIDAY 55

I had the right of way
but you were determined.
Even though I was halfway through
you barreled into the intersection.
You were in a hurry so I stopped,
But you paused
 to scream and point angrily.
Ah, so it's entitlement not haste.
I moved to calmly flip you off
but I was wearing mittens.


DA COUNT
It's probably better that I was wearing mittens.  It saved me from myself.

Slice of Lime-The Face of Enthusiasm

Earlier this week I was called into the boss lady's office for a talking to. The list of grievances, in a nut shell, were my seeming lack of enthusiasm, that I am not a team player, and my lack of work ethic. I was quite honestly more than a tad shocked by the whole thing as were my coworkers who said they thought I was deserving of a bonus. After a moment of thought, when they noticed my look of consternation upon emerging from the dungeon for my flogging, one of them offered, "Ah yes, that's right. It's right on schedule. We both got the same speech as did the girl you replaced. The next speech on the schedule is the 'You're ruining the practice' speech. Just be ready for it." The other girl nodded as she recalled "going through the series."


Oh, trust me, I will be ready.

In the meantime, I am practicing my look of enthusiasm...or constipation...

In other news and in keeping with a holiday theme this week. Today is Web Day. On this day in 1990 tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau sent a memo entitled WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project. That's had just a few ripples, dontcha think? It seems fitting that today's picture was taken with a webcam for the express purpose of putting it on the web.

Happy Web Day! And thanks to all of you who make the web so fun to visit.
