What a depressing day. Not because of my work load. Not because of traffic. No, I didn’t get any bad news from any family member.
I listened to news radio.
What was I thinking? First, there was the ridiculousness that was the Olympic Torch in San Francisco. I’d type it all out again, but Michael already did.
Then, more on the housing problems. Coupled with news/reminder about how much the war is costing on a daily basis.
Finally, lets finish with a rousing round of increased oil prices! To which I say, no shit Mr. News Guy. I paid $3.91 for a gallon of the good stuff today and fully expect it to be over $4.00 by the end of the week, even if oil doesn’t go to $120 a barrel.
Much like going to the gym, I must remember to keep the ipod with me at all times. I mean, it’s nice to know what’s going on in the world and all that, but this much at once was just too much.
Uncle I say.
Maybe, Mr. and Ms./Mrs. News Person, next time you are going to pile it on all at once you can remember to dig out those human interest stories that you keep hidden for slow news days. Or maybe play a song, or a short comedy bit, maybe something from last night’s Letterman (He’s CBS, you’re CBS. Talk to your people).
Thank You.
