A couple thoughts today:
1. It’s really hard to convince people to vote when you’re not feeling it as much as you want to. For instance, I have spent all day attempting to encourage some of the people I work (clients, not peers) with to vote. I love people advocating for themselves. I even held an inpromptu discussion over the Presidential candidates talking points -- just to get a discussion going. I turned out to be lackluster and boring. Maybe I can do better as we get closer to ending this election season.
2. Working from Noon to 8pm is pretty cool. I get lots of over-time, too. It tends to be stressful, as I have approximately eleventy supervisors. Oh, and I left my Nalgene at work. I’m sad. And dehydrated. I need to buy a new one anyway.
3. I found a horrible and shocking video on YouTube the other day. Not only do I disagree with the message, I’m not sure the children in this scary propaganda-esque hate video really even understand what they’re really saying. Read the comments on the YouTube page.
4. I believe, and like, the Filter For Good concept. In fact, I haven’t purchased a bottle of water (unless I’m without my Nalgene) since I took the pledge. I’ve also increased my water consumption and eliminated soda from my diet.
5. I like goats. Especially the Fainting kind. My family raises them, and has about 70. They’re like pets… awesome.
Nalgene is an interesting product name…
because it makes me think of an alternate form of “nalga,” which means “butt cheek” in Spanish.
All the more reason for me to get another. What’s one butt cheek without the other?
