2 lessons from work
Random things I learned today: 1. Apparently, a recent study has determined that talking on your cell phone while driving reduces your reaction time to "that of elderly people." Yes, that's correct. Instead of saying it reduces it 25% or whatever, they chose to take a shot at the elderly. And of course, this begs the question "what if you are elderly and talking on a cell while driving? 2. A conversation with one of the senior partners in the firm, while I was pouring coffee into an airpot to be placed in a conference room: Senior Partner: Those airpots really keep coffee warm. Me: Yeah, I guess they do. Senior Partner: You can empty those at the end of the day and it's still scalding hot. Me: Really? Senior Partner: Yeah, I think they have some kind of nuclear reactor in there or something. Me: Well, they are really well insulated. The outside doesn't get hot. Senior Partner: If you are ever going to climb Mt. Everest, you should take one of these with you. Me: Umm, yeah. So remember that. When you climb Everest, take an airpot. Okay then, I'm off to Frankfort. Oh, and if you are in Cincinnati this weekend, just remember that there is NOT a suprise party at my place this weekend. If there were one, and there isn't, but if there was one, you would meet here at 6:30 and then Tommy would have gotten here at 6:45. But, there isn't one, so it's moot right?? *wink, wink* posted
