Not so fast food
On the list of things to teach your kids: Going for fast food is a matter of scheduling. In practical terms, trying to buy Thai on a really cold Friday evening is worth a half hour of your time, minimum. Been there, know the drill.
Is there a reason why guys will stay in their assigned work cubicle until removed by advanced age, earthquakes or a promise of free something, whereas… in the presence of a newly vacated cubicle, all the gals want to move. Sideways, across the room, doesn’t matter. As I rotated four offices worth of technology this afternoon, I had time to reflect on the question. Unfortunately, time to reflect does not bring understanding. Akin to life in a contemplative monastery.
My personal music player has an ON/OFF switch that serves to confuse. Even though I turned things off, this afternoon my “play time” lasted less than three seconds before the low battery alarm sounded. Had to change to listening to a smart phone, which seems like overkill. Worse, I can’t find the charging cord, so I will have to wait until next week when I can use the spare one stored in a drawer in the office. Until then, humming will suffice.
A new study believes that colour vision among primates serves to sense the mood of others. In the case where red-green deficiency exists, this could lead to people who tend to be “loners”. Or as I put it, “Guilty as charged, your Honour”. Now I can blame it on physiology, rather than rearing. The study mentions that rose-coloured glasses may actually be a good thing.
