Things I Don't Understand

From Seth Godin's Blog

Could you make a list? A list of things that you probably could understand if you put your mind to it, but don't.

1. Why do I work 40+ hours a week at a job I hate to earn money to buy things I don't really need?

2. What, exactly, is the Federal Reserve?

3. Why do we let the Governmet control so much of our lives and take so much of our money if we're all (moslty) convinced that they're a corrupt, immoral, ineffectual bunch of buffoons, anyway?

4. Why does beer have such a negative reputation in this country?

5. What ever happened to the Pub?

6. Why am I having such a tough time with the letter "T" on my keyboard today? Especially when that "T" is the final letter in a sentence (I just had to go back and add a "T" to "corrupt" in number 3 above)?

Do I really need to be carrying...

Three. Bloody. Freaking. Phones?

Three of 'em this week while at work. My work landline cordless. My personal cell phone and my biz cell phone since I'm on call. I don't have enough bloody pockets. And what do I do when all three are ringing?

I'll tell ya what to do when all three are ringing (and the land line may even have two calls holding and waiting for me).

Ignore them. All three of them. And wander down to the pub for a pint.

I really need to get off this roller coaster...
