The Things You Say
Mood: Okay
Song: Baroque Samba - New York Voices
Units of Caffeine: 2
Days Until Vacation: 72
Unfortunately, my anger from the previous day's events hasn't really subsided; but today is an okay day. After two days of falling off the diet wagon, I'm back on track; my work load isn't too bad today; there's one day left until the weekend; and the weather is really nice here. (Now if there only weren't that freaking burn ban, I could make my turkey burgers outside - Mmmmm.)
As we all know, the internet contains a seemingly infinite number of ways that we can all waste our time. This morning, I found another! You see, I have a great past time: people watching. No, this is not to say that I'm some perv who enjoys peering into other people's houses and apartments. Call it a fascination in sociology, but I really enjoy sitting in a park or an airport or somesuch and just watching people: how they act; what they say; etc... Sometimes I find myself in a situation where I hear something that is so obscure, disturbing or funny that I think that life is stranger than fiction. I am reminded of a scenario in which some friends were walking out of a grocery store before going to the New York State Fair and heard the following dialogue:
Apparently there are others like me who enjoy such touches of eavesdropping, because I have found some sites dedicated to the subject: Overheard in New York and its sister site, Overheard in the Office. I have put permanent links to these sites on my side bar for a quick link, because... well, they're that good.
