Stupid Question Day...

Now, I’ve heard the saying that “there is no such thing as a stupid question”. Well let me tell you - those individuals that believe this were blessed to have never crossed paths with a stupid person or they are either stupid people themselves and don’t recognize the signs. For every stupid person, there are at least as many stupid questions and therefore, I bring you today…

“Ask A Stupid Question Day” – September 28th.

Here are a few of my favorites (courtesy of Brain Candy) - some are stupid, others are pure genius…
  • Do you know where you lost it?
  • Can a stupid person be a smart-ass?
  • What hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?
  • Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?
  • When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
  • How does a person with a lisp pronounce that word?
  • How does a thermos know whether a drink should be hot or cold?
  • Why can't we tickle ourselves?
  • Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?
  • Why do we need training bras? What can we teach them?

"Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?"

Actually that is a very good question! And I for one would like to know the answer!!!

MY favorite from my co-workers who think that because I design Web sites I should be their desktop support: "Doesn't the computer realize...."

NO! Computers do not realize anything. They are machines not capable of realizations or thoughts. Well....unless you're talking about a Mac.

@JW - Glad to keep you amused. Hope you are doing well.

@Brian - With little ones, I'm sure you get asked A LOT of questions.

@Cris - Hmmm - I think I'll do some internet research and figure out what a "whack" actually is. Keep posted for updates.

@MJ - OMG - that is hilarious! I can't believe what actually comes out of some people's mouths. I LOVE my Mac :)

I often wondered about the tickling also? I think it is a mental thing about not being in control!

This much stupid I am, a teacher told me, when I asked why is the sky blue. But he couldn't answer me!

January Blows...

The Holidays are behind us for another year, the parties are over and the decorations have been put away. Now what? Apart from some indoor exercise, maybe the odd movie, some reading, an afternoon nap on the weekend and perhaps some weight loss, there is nothing to look forward to in the short term. The Holidays are a bit of a let-down in that respect. So much hype and then when the excitement suddenly stops, I’m left feeling lost – like I’ve forgotten to do something. I usually like to complain about the winter weather in January, but I can’t even do that because it hasn’t been that bad… yet. It’s been cold, but we have certainly been lacking in the snow department. I know winter will arrive and then I’ll have LOTS to keep my “bitter meter” ticking, but until then, what’s a girl to do?

Q&A With Myself...

Today is an anniversary of sorts… Today marks my 2 nd anniversary at my current place of employment.   Over the last 2 years, I’ve had some  a lot of spare time to reflect upon the career path that I’ve chosen and what wrong turns have lead me to the cube where I sit today. I’m not happy with some of the choices I’ve made, but I’m not going to dwell on those – life’s too short .   Each wrong turn has led me to something different, some new experience.   I’ve met some great people, others that aren’t so great and those who should be forgotten, but sadly are etched upon my soul.  I’ve learned some things along the way and have laughed at myself and others while doing whatever it is that I do.   I question whether I should have become a sell out and an ass kisser, but realize that I just don’t have what it takes.  I like being able to hold my head high and know that I’ve gotten to where I am in life by being honest – with myself and others.
