Thoughts, Ramblings and A Little Piece of My Soul.

Thursday, February 27, 2003

It's seven pm, i'm still at work. Yes, i tell you these things because I want you to think i'm a hard worker.

But sitting here, with nobody around, just doing work, one really does start to go crazy. I find myself pondering over and over again, on why an elevator with only two floors would have individual buttons dedicated to Floor 1 and Floor 2. What kind of grand engineering is that? When you're on the top floor, the elevator can't figure out it needs to go DOWN?

There's plenty of other things to ponder, like why exactly the person who invited the keyboard/typewriter put the keys where he did? Was there a reason (actually, i think there was, but don't think too hard about it)? And who is QWERTY? Is he related to Q-Bert?

Why do Filipinos call themselves asians, but sometimes Pacific Islanders? Would that make Hawaiians who are Pacific Islanders also Asian? And Japan and Taiwan would be islands in the pacific as well.

Why is the saying "Third time's a charm" when "Three Strikes and you're out"? And, "The grass is always greener on the other side" but you'd "rather not be in his shoes"?

And why do people say something "was on it like white on rice"? I think I should take personal offense to that. I think it should at least be modified to "yellow on fried rice".

Also, why does wicked and sick both mean something positive when they are defined as negative ideas?

Yes, i've been at work far too long.
