"a-desire-to-belong" amnesia - it's a new type and dangerous!

Today was 19 degrees. i don't know that for sure, but when i ran out to my car and started gasping because the air was so freaking cold, the bundled-up old men standing in the lobby who told me the temperature started to seem credible.

I learned many things today. Unfortunately I only remember two of them. One - one of our speakers during training was born in Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941. Two - according to some random book that was poorly sourced in a power point slide, people in our generation (our moniker for some reason is the millenial generation) communicate "politely." This is in contrast to our boss' generation (the baby boomers) who are blunt. Man, I thought it was just a george thai thing to tell someone they're stupid because you think they're stupid.

So I had a frightful moment today. Driving home from work, my lights spotlighted a circular metallic "P" thinger-majigger. I found myself straining to discern the words on the edge, thinking, "Hey! Princeton! Yo, we're buddies! Maybe I'm not so alone here," until I recoiled in horror.

I need to sleep more. a LOT more.
