still anti-social

yesterday i was in the grocery store. yes, it's taken me years to learn that it's best to shop on tuesdays -- far less people.

while shopping, i saw a sight that staggered me. a guy walked up and picked up to cartons or large eggs. he didn't look at either.. just took them and put them in his cart -- er, carriage as they call them here.

i wanted to ask him, "won't you check those?"

i've never in my life bought eggs without looking at them.. 9/10 out of ten the first one i pick up has broken eggs. why would i want to buy that?

i'm not sure why, but it just really struck me as very silly.. and something i wanted to correct.

there's a guy on tv in a white car being chased all over LA. i'm left wondering why they chase him at such crazy speeds all over the city when they can follow with the helicopter. in fact, why not put laser guided rockets on the copter and below this fool up - it works for the military.

i kid. there'd be too much collateral damage.

the "expert" giving the commentary is a fucking tool.

anyway.

tomorrow i have meeting at 7:30am. i'm of the opinion that any meeting that early can't be good. it's with bossman and sidekick supervisor to discuss account strategy. i asked if we can also discuss my exit from the sales desk.. and was told that'll be on the menu too.

i'm left wondering if i'm to be fired tomorrow.

i'm left wondering if i'll quit tomorrow.

i thought about writing up my letter of resignation and putting in all kinds of fancy this and that in it -- but no. there's no call or need for that and i'm sure it'd screw me in some way.

while i'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of being unemployeed tomorrow, i'm not opposed to it. i've good story to tell other employers why things ended after nine months.. so i'm cool with that.

i've money i can draw from -- well, ok, credit, to cover things for a while.

if i were a sign-looking kinda guy, i'd be all about hearing a song i've not heard in ages twice in one day: green day's "time of your life". i could make a lot out of that.

i'm not much in the moods for signs.

wow, headline news is in their f'ing glory.. the car chase, a guy hanging from a building.

why are these the stories that get called breaking news?

anyway. i'm still anti-social.
