Eat any good books lately?

While I don't expect deep, intellectually-stimulating conversations at work, is it too much to ask for co-workers who could pass the Turing test?

Ignorance sucks.
Wilful ignorance sucks more.
Taking perverse pride in one's ignorance tops all...

... but you don't have to be so loud at it. >.<

I am not a religious man, but I am praying that the batteries in my mp3 player last out the day so that I won't have to stab out my eardrums with a fork.

I'll still never forget one cow-worker going on about how much better things were in the "olden days". Specifically, that people lived to be several hundred years old.

I argued that people have never lived to be several hundred years old. He replied that it was in The Bible, and therefore it had to be true.

We've also all had to listen to his creationist argument, "If man was descendant from apes, then why do we still have apes?"

Nobody argues with him anymore.

oh yeah

I think the makers of the MP3 players should be given some sort of award. I didn't know you worked where I am, where the conversation runs the gautlet from A to, well, A. Between the appliance drama and telling the kids to breathe in & breathe out, the gospel singing and of course we _must_ discuss Britney & Lindsay & whatever pop tart is the flavor du jour....
If I didn't have the MP3 player, I'd be in jail....

This deserves to be put on metaquotes.

May I?

[plonq.livejournal.com]

Yes, you certainly may. =)

Any time I don't friend-lock a post, consider that implicit permission to quote/metaquote anything I say here.

Done. They like it.
