Unstructured Thoughts - What Are You Thinking Now?

Please read before deciding there's no reason for you to post a reply.

I really don't post as much at message boards as I used to. And there's a reason for that. I get distracted, very easily. I'm just the kind of person with thoughts that often aren't structured. They just happen. For instance, if I'm worried about something, I usually don't want to discuss it but I'd like to just state it. Black and white, clear as crystal, once and have done with it. Unless of course someone else could or has been able to relate to that thought and wants to add to it. I don't want to start a dozen short posts about abstract thoughts just because when I have them I want to discuss them very much. It would be more sensible to, in a sense, have a graveyard for them where I could bury them as they arise.

This simply would eliminate worthless topics which no one would reply to and there's no worry about this topic getting off-topic because that's how it starts. It's not about establishing a pattern of off-topic topics. But for instance... I'm getting a headache right now, so I'd like to elaborate more on this post later on. But I wanted to try and create a post for random thoughts anyone were to have. In case the person having them really felt like sharing them.

I don't have one right now, but I could spill my guts about a lot of little things to other people that mean something to me.

The morning is cold, dreary and dark. My soul feels a little like that today. Need something warm and bright and fun. Maybe an Abbott and Costello DVD after work. Nope - gotta teach which I love but some days my heart just isn't in it. Ah well, this too will pass.

Wow Draik - that is awesome!!!!! Great job!

Mike - along with the outlets and beer fridge, you might want to add a flatscreen and cable/porn channels to make it homey because I think that is your new home. The Mrs. might decide to keep you down there and only let you out once in a while. :p

I had to run downtown to get some bread to go with the minestrone soup that has been mingling flavors all night in the fridge. It's the best bread, ever. The bread was still warm, the wooden floors of the bakery are still creaky. I was just mad I didn't have enough money for a cupcake as well.

And no- I don't live anywhere near Buffalo...

My boss is muttering to himself in the kitchen because no one has cleaned the coffee maker in three weeks and it's now jammed up. Funny thing how folks want their coffee but always expect someone else to maintain the equipment. He's just spent the last 45 minutes of his valuable time tearing it apart to un-jam the grinder motor.

I wisely stay out of the office coffee politics and brought in a one cup coffee maker for my personal use, which I take care of myself.

I voluntarily take care of the kitchens at work at the end of every day - it's amazing how messy a lot of people can be. I also clean out the refrigerators every two months and discard old food and science experiments. I do this because the last place we had before moving into this building had mold that was so bad that it would not wipe off the insides of the frig. I don't want that happening in this office. That's just damn nasy. And, yes, we do have a few merauders that help them to other people's lunches.

Many years ago a guy I worked for told me about a former laboratory co-worker who was notorious for getting into the company refrigerator during the night shift and helping himself to other people's food. My boss, good chemist that he was, got some phenolphthalein (which used to be the active ingredient in laxatives before being phased out due to concerns about carcinogenicity), sprinkled it on a plate of peanut brittle, then left it in the fridge at the end of the day. Shortly after that, there were no more incidents of food being swiped.

I do not recommend anyone try that, for obvious reasons. I'm just tellin' the story:)

We had a guy in our office who would go in to the communal fridge & eat your lunch. He was reprimanded several times..he didn't care.
...And, yes, we do have a few merauders that help them to other people's lunches.
That sucks. Although I instantly thought of a container with your name on the that was filled with ex-lax brownies I could see where sue happy Americans would come after you for poisoning them with YOUR food.
