Questions:
In bullet form, because I’m feeling bullet-y:
- Why are meeting rooms always so cold? It is commonly known that if you are going to attend a continuing ed class (I have to attend classes to keep my insurance license) you should wear layers, because it will be freezing. This is not just in Duluth. And it’s not just insurance classes. Is it some sort of public speaker conspiracy or something?
- Why do people not participate in class-like discussions? Every time I go to continuing education, the speaker tries to get the class involved by asking questions. Yes, most of them are easy, and no one wants to shout out an answer that they think is easy only to find out that they are wrong, but does no one else feel sorry for the speaker? I’m totally the obnoxious person in your class that ACTUALLY ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS. And I don’t feel bad about it at all. In fact, last time I did it, they gave me chocolate for participating. Also they told me I was “on fire” because I could answer like 3 questions. That everyone else in the room knew the answer to, but didn’t say because they are too cool for school or something. I am not exceptionally smart. I am, however, becoming convinced that this is the reason I always did well in school. EVERYONE likes it when you make their job easier. And audience participation (at least if it’s respectful) makes a public speaker’s job much easier.
- Why am I always hungry and bored at about 3 o’clock? It’s getting so that it’s kind of late in the day to go get a snack. I mean, once the time hits 4 it flies by, so there’s really only an hour to go. Obviously I should bring a snack to work with me. But do you think that I ever actually do that? Nope.
- What the heck is so awesome about facebook that is giving me withdrawal pangs? I gave up facebook during work for lent. Which sounds weird, but it was getting to the point that I would check it about 10 times a day. And even if it’s just for a couple seconds, that is too much. So I’m not logging in during work at all. Not even on lunch, because that would be a slippery slope.
- Why don’t they make healthy food that tastes like raw chocolate chip cookie dough. And carrot cake with homemade cream cheese frosting? I would be the healthiest person EVER if that was the case. And yes, judgers, I’m still going to the gym, and I’m mostly eating healthy. I just kind of slip and fall sometimes. Or totally wipe out…whatever.

What IS up with meeting rooms being so cold? Jason says he prefers it that way, because if it’s too warm, he falls asleep.
I ate three pieces of raw cookie dough yesterday while baking cookies. I don’t regret it AT ALL.

I fall asleep when it’s too cold because I have to put on my coat and curl up as much as possible. But then I drink pop and eat junk all day to stay awake, so it works out. Hmm…they should obviously start serving cookie dough at meetings! Probably the non-egg kind, though. We don’t want law suits on our hands!

you and your blog make me laugh. i, too, am a huge cookie dough fan. in the summer of ’07 at the camp i worked at between about 5 other staff members and myself we’d go through one of those tubs from sam’s club a week. we’d seriously take turns footing the 8 dollars each week. you could tell how the week went by how quickly the tub emptied. we ate that stuff at probably quite an unhealthy rate. oh, well, i’m still alive to tell about it and the 6 of us still look back and laugh! oh and mimzy (that’d be my mom and no that’s not her actual name) still won’t leave the kitchen when she makes cookies without taking the bowl of dough with her. she actually took it into the laundry room to fold clothes one time because she didn’t trust me with it! she’s no fool! :)

I think the raw egg thing is an evil hoax by the health food fanatics to get us to stop eating cookie dough. I ate enough raw cookie dough as a kid with enough eggs in it to hatch a chicken ranch, and am still alive and kicking! You know me Becky. Only health and wellness every minute of the day.
