GET DA F OUT OF MY WAY

Do people not think about where they are when they stop to have conversations at work?

So I am leaving the building yesterday and there is only one door to get out. There are a couple guys in front of me, one who is leaving and one who is not. The guy leaving stops in front of the door and starts talking with the other guy. I get there and stand there in his field of view and HE STANDS THERE and keeps talking for 5 seconds before moving out of my way. WTF are you doing, GET THE F OUT OF MY WAY... YOU OBVIOUSLY SEE ME STANDING THERE WAITING AND THERE'S NO OTHER PURPOSE FOR ME TO BE THERE.

Then there are those other people who stop in hallways to chit chat, which I don't have a problem with, except when you do the following:

- block the whole hallway
- stand in front the bathroom door and/or block the path to the door
- stand in the entrance to the break/kitchen area so no one can get by

If you do that stuff... STOP RIGHT NOW... next time you see someone do that stuff, point them to this blog post or kick them, I suggest the latter.

So here is my shout out to Becky and Jimmy, I wish you the best in everything that is to come.

Thanks for inviting me. Sorry, I didn't drink with you at the reception, I was otherwise occupied although I do not remember with what.

Internet Grammar Police

So one of my buddies has been kind enough to proof read my posts, informing me of errors so I thought I would return the favor to everyone and provide an educational post. It also irks me that people do not know how to use simple words properly. Here are some common examples (with help from online dictionaries):

their - a form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun: their home; their rights as citizens; their departure for Rome.
there - in or at that place
they're - contraction of they are.

your - (a form of the possessive case of YOU used as an attributive adjective)
you're - contraction of you are

loose - free or released from fastening or attachment
lose - to come to be without (something in one's possession or care), through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect of recovery

Now I can understand that people make mistakes once in a while as I do, but the consistency with which I see some people use the incorrect word makes me wonder if they really do know the difference. Come on now people, it really is not that hard, let's put a little more effort into this, we as a country are already ranked near the bottom in English proficiency there is no need to try to be the best of the worst.

I only listed a few of the common ones I see, feel free to share any more.

Wall-E = Super long rap video

So I watch Pixar's most recent movie this weekend, Wall-E and I must say I was quite unimpressed.

*** Warning: Semi-Spoiler alert ***

Most of the movie consists of the two main characters saying the same thing over and over again... Wall-E... E-VA... Wall-E... E-VA... Wall-E... E-VA... I thought I was watching an extended rap video, one of those where they came up with one line and just repeat it, with random stuff thrown in once in a while, just like the movie had.

It wasn't a total loss though, life on the spaceship was funny yet sad, funny because it pretty much what America is becoming, if not already mostly there. Sad because most Americans who watched the movie probably didn't realize it was about them and that they were laughing at themselves. AI YAH
