That's Disturbing!

I had several things cross my mind lately that qualify as downright DISTURBING:

* A license plate I spied in Illinois that said "HRT." I also saw one that said "HT FLSH." I guess that one could mean "hat flesh" instead of "hot flash!"

* Leaving 15 minutes earlier in the morning to find my morning commute decreased by 10 minutes. So I lose 15 minutes of sleep to gain 10 extra minutes at work? Yeah, that's just wrong. It's like I’m LOSING time.

* My mom (SkyBlue) talking about a news report she heard about rubbers. And I don't mean tires!

* This car:

Note the California license plate and that the back window is so stuffed full of crap that the driver is probably running out of oxygen. Oh, and that semi whizzing by at 70 mph? That startled me and I wasn't even driving this little tutt-tutt.

* Me complaining about the few managerial/motivational issues I've had at St. Fozzie's. The rebuttal I received from an older and wiser co-worker? "Stop acting like a Gen Y-er!" Huh? Really?

* Driving down a side road between hospital campuses only to have a hummingbird-sized dragonfly play 'chicken' with my driver's side windshield. The windshield won, but I had to pull over to flick the dead carcass off my windshield. That cured me of my lunchtime hunger, especially because I first tried to windshield-wipe the carcass from my vision.

* Having such a ferocious migraine today that I actually stepped out of a meeting, googled the patron saint of migraines from my blackberry, and ripped off a quick prayer to her (Saint Teresa of Avila…or as Yoshi would say, Saint Teresa of Advil!) to intercede for my pain relief or that my stupid head would just explode and get it over with. I then raided the administrative 'fridge for a regular Coke, and rejoined the meeting. I emerged from the meeting a new woman, fueled by a sugar buzz and Saint Teresa of Advil's blessings.

* The fact that I'm blogging at work, as a break, while I gobble my leftover pasta and refuel for the rest of my work this evening, and it's already almost 8 p.m.
