1. Here's a great article...
Chaplains honored
"When I looked, the only thing that was showing was the keel," said Eardley, a private who had reached the safety of a raft. "And there were the four chaplains on top of the keel, arm in arm with each other."
This article moved me. What a beautiful image - four clergymen of different faiths not afraid to face their maker together, giving their lives so the younger men on the ship could be rescued.
Then I started thinking... why don't we hear more stories like this from the current day? I'm sure they're out there (heroes, in our various battlefields). No, we have to put some punk all over the evening news in a wildly transparent bid for ratings. Eff you, Peacock.
2. The heimlich is hard to do. (I found this out yesterday. I tried. Sticky cake + heimlich = not good. Luckily it all worked out ok, because a nurse was nearby. Go learn first aid. Right now. )
3. Bosses shouldn't set lunchtime meetings. It's basically thwapping the employees upside the head and saying "I have the power to screw around with your lunch break, so don't test me."

Our boss always makes us stay AFTER work hours for meetings. I kinda think that sux even more.
Oh man I was bitching about the same weather thing yesterday. Seriously can't we PLLLEEEEESE just stay at 73-75 for like 2 months? Come on we don't even get a WEEK???? Strait to 85? It just snowed!!!
