Heartache and Longing
I parked next to the evening receptionist’s car yesterday. Her bumper stickers include:
- Bush/Cheney 2004
- Happiness Is A Republican President
- My ♥ Belongs To A Trucker
Truck Sellin’ Music
No more hits of the 80s. It took me a day and half to realize that the Sirius channel playing over the PA here had been switched to country music. No more absurd juxtapositions of 20+ year-old pop music and inane statements. Most of the things I overhear on the lot fall into line with a Nashville pop score. I’m disappointed, but heartened to know that I retain the ability to almost completely block out country music, as evidenced by the amount of time it took me to notice it.

The men’s room stall garbage can strikes again. I just noticed a discarded pair of tighty-whiteys sitting in the top of the receptacle. I can’t say whether they belonged to an employee or a customer. Most disturbing, however, is that I had an internal debate lasting 30-45 seconds about whether or not I should find something to prod the orphaned undergarment in order to survey the full extent of the damage necessitating abandonment. Someone send help.
