Pet Peeves

So I'm at work right now, and two of my pet peeves just happened...and I was so ticked off...I decided to blog about it

1) Who the hell doesn't know/follow the 1-3-5 Rule...So the bathroom here has like 7 urinals...So I got in, saw that there was no one there so I went to the farthest one, and was doing my business...then two guys come in...the first one went to the one closest to the door (and in my mind I was like...score, someone followed the rule!), but then the second guy walks all the way over right next to my urinal. As he unzips his pants or whatever he was doing, somehow he elbows me...freaking wouldn't have been a problem if he WENT TO ONE IN THE MIDDLE!!!

2) I'm walking back to my office, and I turn the corner in the hallway, and some women walks straight into me...SHE WAS WALKING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HALLWAY...you know...if everyone just walks on the right side of the hallway, then everything is good, no collisions, and I get to be nice and happy with my life...

OK midday rant done...I feel surprisingly better now...

Evening Edit:: How did this not get on this

Independence...

So what did I do for Independence Day (and the weekend)...I got to relax...well sort of...the thread of my tires was dangerously low, so I got new tires (and now I can actually drive safely in the rain)...but mostly just chilling out and resting...it was a good point to get a three (kinda four) day weekend...

I gotta give massive props to whoever designed the fireworks show over Boston Harbor...If you know me at all, I don't really care about Holidays and all the hoopla and stuff...but I watched the fireworks and it was very very well coordinated...not just the usual spheres being shot up, but different shapes, sizes, the timing was impeccable...made it seem like each and everything was scripted...I especially appreciated the finale...was very massive (to be expected) but it was all very deliberate...not just "oh lets just shoot everything we havent shot yet up at the sky and see what happens"

To sum it up...I was pleasantly surprised...

Now for decisions...i've got a little more than a month left in boston...should i go back to minn? or to st louis? Both choices have pros and cons....we'll see...interesting...

Hope you all enjoyed your fourth of july...
