Anti-Social Much?

I've mention before that I work in a technology company.  We make stuff that makes the internet work better  (at least that's the gist of what our marketing material says).  

Anyhow, as you can imagine our organization is dependent upon technology, gizmos and gadgets and since we are so cutting edge, the company recently had "smart boards" installed in all our meeting rooms.  These smart boards apparently "allow for better collaboration and idea sharing".  

What are they?  Well, to me - they are  the very expensive version of  the old fashioned white board with the smelly markers.   But, with these ones - when you write on them (with fancy markers), and your notes can then be shared with others in remote locations.  

What does this mean?  It means I NEVER have to sit in a boardroom and listen to another boring technical presentation ever again.  I love technology...and the anti-socialist movement.

It's bad when the boards are smarter than us.

Meetings can be mind numbing depending on the speaker. We have one once a week. I call it our weekly beating. It's not that bad, but one needs gallows humor at time in business.

Are you at the new job yet? If not, at least you don't have to do smart board for too long.
And it's unfortunate that I know too many people that are like that cartoon.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
