All in a days work

While doing some online research for a work project I stumbled upon this, which lead me to this full article. It has been a relatively slow day at work so I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out if these are a joke. I'm pretty sure they are not. The first link was found on a Family Office site, considering all they do is manage rich peoples money, I'm guessing they are not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Also, I'm pretty sure the guy who wrote it is doing ok for himself. And based on the fact that the second article was on the Wall Street Journal I can just imagine a bunch of old, fat, white, rich guys having a good chuckle about the girlfriends bit.

Ugh, now I feel a little sick.

just pull over!

Last weekend I was driving down the 405 to visit a friend when I started to notice lots of leaves and small branches on the road. It was then that I noticed the SUV about 3 cars ahead of me in the right lane with a small tree stuck under it. Now you might think I am exaggerating, as this is sometimes something I am prone to do, but this time that is an accurate statement. I have actually seen trees small than what this car was now dragging all over the freeway. While it was thoroughly stuck underneath its shear size caused it to kinda stick out the sides. Now any logical person would realize that this was an issue that they would need to address right away (well actually any sane person would do something to avoid getting a tree stuck under their car in the first place) but the driver of this vehicle seemed entirely unaware of what was going on. I don't know if it's the fact that I drive a small car, a car that would easily have been taking out by the likes of that giant branch, or the fact that I can't stand the deafening sound of dragging something that large under my car but I started yelling 'pull over, pull over, just pull over!', to no one in particular, when I realized this car had no intentions of doing anything of the sort. On the contrary actually, the SUV began changing lanes, often. Now remember I said that the debris in the road is what made me notice this in the first place well that was nothing compared to what started shooting out from the car while they were busy merging. So now the freeway is being carped in leaves, small branches and some sort of red flower that was attached to the slowly shrinking tree. At this point the whole thing is getting absurd and I'm getting more annoyed (partly because the 'small' branches that are coming off are actually big enough to get trapped under my car, and I'm not having that), at this point I have resorted to vulgarity, 'pull the fuck over you fucking idiot' I am now yelling, again to no one, but now I have the feeling I'm not alone as there are probably a few of my fellow drivers yelling something similar. We pass exits and the car makes no moves to pull over, I contemplate pulling along side them and angrily motioning to the tree, I abandon this idea when I realize it would involve me going into the eye of the storm that is the flying debris. Finally, the car goes to exit (though I'm sure not because of the tree but simply because this was their intended exit all a long) as I drive by the car waiting to exit I see that the tree was actually larger than I had thought, it spans almost the whole length of the SUV. I think to myself 'I hope it fucked up something in your car', I know that might seem a little harsh but I'm pretty sure they deserved it.

New Plan

So, clearly I have been a blogging failure lately. As I mentioned awhile back my work situations has changed and I have limited free time to mess around on the internet these days. Whereas in my previous position I was able to spend hours on the internet, that is no longer the truth. So in light of this I have decided to amend my post every day resolution to a post once a week one. I think this will be more feasible.

Maybe...
