Here are some observations from the day:

I had a meeting today from 9:30a – 3:30p at work. As mentioned before, there is a trend at work to use the word ‘leverage’. Today’s meeting consisted of 28 Leverages (I kept track in the corner of my notebook) and that doesn’t even count the Leverages that were in Power Point slides or handouts (there were 7 of these). That’s 4.67 spoken Leverages per hour. 1.167 typed leverages per hour. And, 5.833 total Leverages, per hour.

Isn’t it a law that trucks over 6 wheels have to use the 2 right lanes? I thought it was, but apparently not on interstates here in GA. Large trucks just get in the way and on rainy days like today, throw water all over the place. I want to be able to comfortably ride in the left most lanes without having to deal with them. Thanks.

I sometimes have problems using Gmail with Firefox. I will get a message that says: ‘Redirecting to /gmail’ and then it’ll just sit there and not do anything. Its not even trying to load. Just chillin’. I hate having to open IE just to read my Gmail account. Opera appears to not even be supported. I suppose I can’t complain too much as it is really only in beta test still.

I like to use the word ‘word’ in life. I use the standard Vanilla Ice style usage to agree with someone. An example would be where someone says to me, ‘I think we should refresh the test database so that we can make yesterday’s production data available’, and then I would respond with, ‘Word’. However, I sometimes like to say, ‘word to that’. I was told by a co-worker that this is not a correct usage and that the ‘to that’ part is really not needed. I don’t care. I am going to continue to use it incorrectly. My ultimate goal is to get others to adopt my vernacular.
