Catch-up Time

So I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I think I have a couple updates for tonight.



To start, I'm at work tonight. To fully understand, a diagram of my work area.



So the brown is my desk, the red dot is me. I'm facing up. The black is a wall, the shaded in area is just irrelevant. The blue section on the left side is a television screen (technically, it's a projection TV that's projected onto that wall, but whatever). So I'm sitting around "working" on my computer. Somebody walks up form the far left and asks, "Are you watching this TV?" Unless I'm leaning over the left side of the desk, there is no possible way I could be watching the TV. Way to think that one through.



I was down in Washington, D.C. a couple weekends ago. Walking around the city, I saw the following sign:



Oooooooh, so I can't run red lights at this intersection? Now that understands why everyone honked at me when I did. Seriously, what intersections allow you to run red lights? Keep in mind, this isn't a "No Turn On Red" sign; that would make sense. This sign explicitly forbids running red lights. Nice job, D.C. I'm sure that sign prevents many deaths by reminding people that it's illegal to run red lights.

Bad Math

We were sitting around, playing some cards while Jared was rehashing his other night out at a bar. He was stoked that he bought 4 Brubakers (cheap beer) at once so he could save one trip (really? wouldn't that be three trips?). He also bragged that it only cost $11. I pointed out that the beers cost $2.50 each (which they used to cost, apparently they now cost $2.75). He responds with "No, less!" Really? He couldn't do that math fast enough to figure out that 2 beers at 2.50 would be $5, so 4 would be $10, meaning they cost more than my initial $2.50 estimation. WTG, Jared.

Weekend Update

So after a busy weekend, I need to update with some short stories of stupidity from the weekend.



"We're sitting in row 'GA'."

~My girlfriend said this, looking at her admission ticket to my graduation. Seriously, row GA? She's been in the music business and didn't know that "GA" meant General Admission.



"Hockey isn't like football."

~An announcer on Versus covering the NHL playoffs. Really? Never knew that hockey and football were different. Guess that's going to make it harder for Alex Ovechkin to make his transition.



"Montreal is leading in every category we choose to show you."

~Again, Versus announcers. Well if you want to pick and choose, I'm sure you can make stats look like anything you want.
