Monday Monday

You know it's going to be a pretty good day at work when:
A) A great song comes on the radio on your way there?
B) You arrive at work and someone's left a small gift at your desk? Or
C) You are locked out of your computer because it doesn't recognize your password - which is correct because you can send and receive email from your BB?
If you guessed (C), you're right! The other two happened as well, but since I can't do anything, (C) took the prize.
The great song was "Refugee" from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, all the way from 1979 (which happens to be a great year as well...)
The small gift was a cookie. Cookies are awesome. If you could receive 75% of your daily recommended nutrition in cookie form... Just imagine how awesome that would be. Problem is, I think a lot of Americans already think that that is true. NEWFLASH: IT'S NOT!
Snap back to reality for a second here; Obama's got the Economic Recovery & Revitalization bill waiting on his desk. There are quite a few good ideas in there and there are quite a few bad ones. But, that's how a democracy works: you lump the good with the bad because you have to make concessions to other people so we all get along and play nice. Eventually, the bad ideas are weeded out after blowing through millions (or b-b-billions!) Of dollars to find that they don't work. I believe there is an office in Congress that is supposed to keep track of these things, but you never here much from that office. I think if they had an "Idiot! I told you it wouldn't work!" officer, we'd hear more from them. Seriously, every time some project or initiative that doesn't pan out is realized, that officer should send a memo to any member of the Congress that supported it and then post the failure where we all know where to find it. Then, if anyone gets the idea to try it again or some idea like it, we can point them to the past and let them know the idea is horrible.
Okay, I'm done on that... I'll see if someone from the tech dept is in so I can get on my PC...
