thought this was cute. it was in the program of one the churches i've visited:
"if dogs could teach us we would learn things like:
* when loved ones come home, always run to greet them
* never pass the opportunity to go for a joyride and enjoy the fresh air through an open window
* stretch before rising
* run and play daily
* let people touch you
* avoid biting when a simple growl will do
* on hot days, drink lots of water and lie on your back on the grass in the shade
* when you are happy, let it affect your whole body
* no matter how many times you are scolded, don't do the guilt thing and pout - run right back and make friends
* delight in the simple joy of a long walk
* eat with enthusiasm but stop when you've had enough
* be loyal
* never pretend to be something you're not
* when someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently!"
work was insane today. honestly, i love the little gems to bits, but they really know how to test you. i guess patience is one of the many things this job is teaching me...
one of my favourite pastimes has got to be watching video clips. when i don't have to be anywhere on a saturday morning, there's not much better than to spend a couple of hours watching, analysing and critisizing what i see on rage/video hits (i prefer the former but i switch to the latter when something boring comes on). well, at least that's the case in winter, when the sun isn't a blatant temptation/invitation to the beach. the other say i saw a clip that made me embarrassed to be human. the video itself was rubbish, but you couldn't actually expect any more than that, as the song was so stupid it was offensive. absolute crap it was. a pathetic excuse for a piece of music. what a waste of recording equipment. it was so crap that it almost wasn't even there. but somewhere, somehow, somebody is making money from it. it's a twisted world we live in.
there's this clicking sound that's been happening for a few minutes now. turns out that a bug has got caught in the light in the ceiling above my head. the horrible thing is the inevitability that sooner or later the clicking will stop as the bug stops bouncing around trying to escape and eventually fries to death. i'm so tempted to get the ladder and try to save it. but it's a tricky light that isn't easy to take apart....plus....yes, the clicking has stopped. >shudder<
