Remorse

16 08 2007

I am scraping my way through a pretty serious hangover that just seems to be getting worse by the second. I’m not even sure how I am typing this. Thank God for spell check. I’m sitting here staring out the window wondering what the hell I’m doing here and contemplating bailing over the fence and chilling out in some other better place anywhere other than here.

Things I should be sorry for and probably will be when I sober up.

  1. Drinking too much last night. That was just silly. Good fun mind you
  2. Spurring on a 20 person punch up by shouting “HIT HIM YOU ****!!!!”
  3. Gambling. I don’t gamble and now I know why. I think I’m $200 lighter
  4. Getting out of bed this morning. I suppose I couldn’t really call in sick now could I?
  5. Accusing the tea ladies of losing my own personal mug. And then having them find it in my server room. That’s quite embarrassing. It’s a kewl mug though!
  6. Getting out of bed.
  7. I don’t think I can remember any more but I KNOW there will be more since I am having some pretty vivid flashbacks.
  8. Why is there a bra in my room? I don’t wear bras.

I need sleep! And I need coffee. I need to go and make peace with the tea girl. It really is a kewl mug though! You too would have been upset! Ok I will prove it! Here it is:

Purchased ”on location” so it’s more than simple pottery!

Charles Schultz Philosophy

16 08 2007

I kinda like this one. Cheers Spoonz

You must be NUTS! Peanuts!

You gotta love Peanuts!

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip. You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just read this straight through, and you’ll get the point. 

  1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
  2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
  3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.
  4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
  5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
  6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

  1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
  2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
  3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
  4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
  5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:  The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.
