Why are there so many horrible drivers on the roads?  I used to think that I was just catching a bunch of people on a bad day, because Lord knows I occasionally do something stupid behind the wheel and then count my blessings for the next 5 minutes, but, the number of examples I see these days leads me to believe that a lot of people just don't follow ANY of the rules or courtesies of the road.

It's astonishing to me how many different ways companies have driven me away from them in just the past few weeks.

At my local McDonalds, the manager took over a register, looked at all the people in line and said  "I'm open, Come on people, get over here."  My reply just before I left was, "you do realize I am a customer and not an employee, right?"

I never, ever thought I would say this, but there's too damn much for me to learn right now.

Let's see, we upgraded all of the following software titles at work over the past month:

• Captivate 2 to Captivate 3 (I am a SME for this and must become an expert)
• ACT v7 to ACT v8 (This is a training delivery platform, and I am both a SME and an admin for this and must become an expert)
• Swishmax to Swishmax 2
• Photoshop CS2 to Photoshop CS3
• Ditto for Illustrator CS2 to 3

OK, my first blog where I proposed making people pass a test and get a license to do certain things in life elicited a comment that indicated my moral fiber was missing a few threads.  Fortunately, my ego is way too big to care about that, so here goes another blog, another topic, and another license suggestion.

So, we bought new pillows yesterday.  To be wholly accurate, my wife bought us both new pillows and then swapped mine out without saying a word about it.  I didn't realize it until I went to go to bed and found that my head was nearly perpendicular to the bed because this sucker is THICK.  And fluffy!  And some other descriptor of a good pillow.  Once I beat it into submission and forced my head down into it, it's a darn nice pillow.
