Bag of Randomness

  • Yesterday at work I became extremely frustrated at a member on my team that didn’t really understand the concept of being on a team.  While at work, I think I held my composure and acted professional and respectful, but on the drive home my blood was boiling.  I almost wanted to take my anger out on a car. Or maybe drumming on a drum set made of ice and then breaking would have cooled me off.  It was one of those days that just drained me, and I came home and took a two hour nap, something that is very out of character for me.
  • I really don’t like taking naps.  For one, it disrupts my sleeping pattern and I don’t get a real deep sleep for the night.  And even though I’ve never been drunk, when I wake up from a nap, I think I’m having a hangover.
  • SisterGeeding flies back to NYC today.  WifeGeeding and I took her and her fiance out to dinner.  It was a great time together, but man, it’s hard to say goodbye.
  • She should be racking up the airlines miles, she flies to Vietnam on Saturday.
  • So SisterGeeding is gone, and WifeGeeding will be gone to the beach for a week with her family starting Thursday.  It’s gonna be weird to be alone for a while.
  • But I do find times of solitude quite enlightening.
  • I watched a little bit of basketball last night.  There’s one thing about televised sports of today that I just can’t stand . . . interviewing coaches and players during time-outs, in between quarters, or anytime when coaches and players should be focused on the game and not during an interview.
  • Earlier yesterday while listening to sports radio, I heard them mention that the game was going to be played at Amway Arena, which I thought was a joke.
  • Cindy Sheehan, you made your point, move on, please.
  • Tough day for dachshunds yesterday.  I saw on George Stephanopoulos’ Twitter account that his yesterday, and after I read that, a few hours later WifeGeeding called to tell me that her best friend had to put down her dachshund.
  • When I was a kid, I remember when ABC use to get celebrities to compete in different athletic competitions.  It looks like they are going to revive the concept in a show called The Superstars.
  • Did you know that Nolan Ryan was once on a soap opera?  He apears a little after the two minute mark.   YouTube
  • I admit, I’m slow, I have no idea what grilled cheese means.  (Somewhat mature stuff).
  • Is one of my favorite shows, 30 Rock, nothing more than The Muppet Show?
  • Laser Oven?
  • Something I didn’t know about the Southern Baptist Convention:  The Southern Baptist Convention was formed in 1845 so slaveholders could continue to serve as missionaries. In 1995, Southern Baptists formally sought forgiveness from African-Americans.  Source It makes me ponder even more about when my hometown Baptist church use to hold “slave auctions” as a youth fundraiser (third bullet point).
  • OK . . . the city of Cleburne has had about four earthquakes in a week?  That’s just sounds like science fiction for a city in Texas.  I took one geology class in college, and my expertise tells me it’s all related to the new horizontal gas drilling technique.  And I saw a gas company representative state that geologists have told him the drilling isn’t related to the earthquakes.  I just wonder if that geologist is on his payroll.
  • If only there was a website dedicated to nothing but airline spoons.
