Some Random Thoughts....

[ARMORMAN]

Random Thoughts of the Day:

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you're wrong.

Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to
be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like
check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to
yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're
crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was
younger.

The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This
recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never
be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't
work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically
fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all
know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards
or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.


There is a great need for sarcasm font.


Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the flip was going on when I first
saw it.

How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear
your computer history if you die.


Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to
say".

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all
I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".


How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?


Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in'
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and
said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"


MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever.

Bad decisions make good stories

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work
when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything
productive for the rest of the day.

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't
want to have to restart my collection.


There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are
going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far..


I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I
swear I did not make any changes to.


"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.


I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and
goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone
and run away?


I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing
anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.


Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising
speed for pedophiles...


As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers,
but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not
know what time it is.

It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
answer when they call.

Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet
everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in
about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...


That's all folks...if you laughed out loud on some of these...feel free
to pass it on...I did!

On the 'T' and 'G' being close together note, am I the only one who has to go into the Office 'autocorrect' spelling and have it change 'manger' to 'manager' for me at work? I don't ever need to type manger in a manufacturing environment, and somehow it's a typo that happens way too often.

Great way to start my morning! Thanks Armorman

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.

I lived in a place where in order to get to the Interstate highway all I had to do was turn east from my driveway, go two blocks, turn north, and go for a couple of miles to the on ramp. A few of those map routing apps always had me turning west, making a couple of blocks, then finally heading north to the Interstate highway.

I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I
swear I did not make any changes to.

I'll give an amen to that one, fer shur. :D
Just for kicks I once saved a document with a different name and compared the two. Couldn't find anything glaringly obvious. Maybe Rod Serling was around somewhere.

The proximity between d & r is why I drive an "Exploder."
There should be no problem using "Regards" to close an email as long as you preface with "freakin."
