Business Goonies

Sadly, I can't post my favorite George Carlin quotes on my whiteboard at work, but I can still post them here. (Actually, I can't even post my favorite Carlin quotes here, lol, but I can content myself with these.)

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

- and -

The status quo sucks.

And in view of my recent pouting and whining over our new dress code at work, I think these two quotes fit in very nicely. :)

... and one last thing before I go (sing with me!):

Ev'rybody's building the big ships and the boats
Some are building monuments
Others, jotting down notes...

My Heart Was Broken Today

My heart was broken today... broken without warning, without justification, without anyone even realizing that they had broken it. Pause, ladies and gentlemen, for I stand before you a shattered soul.

This post. What could make you say that, Arliss? Is it Cusack's or Skye's lack of acting? The director's decision to slowly zoom in on Cusack or hold angle on Skye? Maybe you don't like the props. I mean, did the car really have to take up so much of the shot? Or should Cusack tried for more than a look of boredom? Maybe you don't like how Cusack is forever tied to this song? But Arliss, oh dear Arliss, don't tell me it's the song itself. The lyrics? The melody? Is it that you are not a Peter Gabriel fan?! Please... say it isn't so... I used to think so highly of you, but now how can I go on considering you a friend? Why did you have to make this song your justification for such hate?

I... I am but a fraction of the person I was just a few seconds ago. All the king's horses and all the king's men can't help me now, but heading to Bosco's might help.
