Kid Memories

I remember as a kid finding that everything took way too long... It was always a long way off to anything fun... Birthdays, Christmas, school starting/ending...

I'm surprised that my memories of actually went on in those days is so scatterbrained. How can it be that I don't remember if I walked to school or bussed? Or who greeted me when I got home? Maybe it just wasn't important, but I wonder how much of my past I've lost!

Not only am I "heavy" into nostalgia, but I wonder what lessons I could learn from that which I can no longer recall!

Management Changes

Management pulled me and the other bastard children who report directly to a director but shouldn't into a meeting. We are now going to report to a coordinator... This is more in keeping with the rest of the department. So that's great!

The director is really into racing and I played with asking him questions early in our supervisor/peon relationship about the car he races and about car racing in general.

During the meeting he asked if we had any questions. I asked the director, "so do this mean you aren't going to be doing my evaluation this year?" He said, "yep." So I said, "good, I don't need to suck up to you anymore. NASCAR SUCKS!!!"

I'm a Dreamer

I discovered another opportunity for improvement in my personality...

I know someone who doesn't like "Imagine" by John Lennon and I know another someone who doesn't like "If I had a Hammer" performed by Peter Paul and Mary...

I'm not sure but I think I will never be close to these people because I believe they are just plain evil - I mean its not the musical qualities they dislike but the message..

Imagine's message is that we can all get along if we get rid of our attachments. Duh!

If I had a Hammer's message is that we should do what's right day and night to bring up our community and neighbors - to defend them and protect them from danger - to work towards unity and love...

How can someone not like these messages?

Basically I am assuming based on my conversations with these people that they are against these because they are anti-hippie. I wonder how many things that are "good for me" or "great ideas" I reject because they have somehow been associated with something I have let myself become intolerant against...

i.e. I don't like jewelers, jewelers promote giving, therefore I don't give as much... Doesn't seem right does it?
