The Word Blog & Work Place Conversation

Why is it so ridiculous?

I've heard many opinions on such topic, especially recently with embarking upon my own blog endeavors - but overall, my final thought is :

I DON'T REALLY MIND IT!

Why?

So quickly I feel accountable to myself, and as my life is passing the days by, I now have documentation. Even with a ridiculous title.

Did you know Oprah writes in her journal every day? EVERY god damn day for however many years? Someone could ask her about any given day... and she could bust open pages of her past like no time was lapsed.

I think that's incredible. Just that thought alone.

Also, this blog has credit for refilling the empty space where "I just need to tell you this one thing..." turns into over an hour of pure bliss.

I missed you.

I was reading through The Globe & Mail today, and noticed some of the movies coming out this weekend. One in particular; The Box.

In a nutshell, it's the decision:

If you were given the option of receiving 1 Million Dollars, simply by pressing a button that would credit you the money but simultaneously kill a stranger - would you do it?

Now, my first instinct was to dig for individual feedback from several colleagues who sit in my desk area. But, then the thought came to mind; What if someone said they would do it? Does that not seem totally inappropriate to admit to people who don't really know you on a level separate from where you are forced to be on a daily basis to pay your bills?

Personally, I don't think I could look at someone the same knowing they have that little piece of pure greed and heartlessness inside.

(I'd probably press the button? ... But that's not the point)

Further more, once I put myself on that particular string of thought, it occurred to me that just yesterday a lady I work with brought to my attention the company name of a vendor that is employed by the building we work in:

'MUFF 'N' BUFF'

We all roared with laughter...

The jokes were completely obscene...

And then we went back to dealing with files.

Conclusion?

I have no fucking clue what appropriate means at work.
