This week

This week started with a federal holiday turned training event for us. We received name tags with a colored dot on them. The color of the dot corresponded to the color table we should sit at for the morning session. The idea to network. The usual games, find what you have in common. I found that I had nothing in common with them. "We all own cars, right?" "Oh oh of course. We're not crazy, write it down." "Ah, actually I don't."

"We are all the oldest sibling." "No, I'm the youngest."

"We all came from the big four." "No, I just graduated."

Annoyed by my unintentional nay-saying, the conversation turned to me listing my traits trying to find some agreement. "Saw Juno? No. Read Kite Runner? No. Hm. Read the paper daily? No. Lived in another country? No... Like baby carrots?" In the end we found some, but nothing remarkable enough to compete for the most unique, which should have been won by the all participated in Rocky Horror picture show table.

At the end of the day, around 1pm after a free lunch, we were released. All in all, I spent 6 hours in Bethesda, MD and arrived home to take a midday nap. I miss naps.

This week is Jeporady Teen Tournament - garbage.

Netflix allows you to have friends, share your queue, make recommendations etc... No thanks. I don't need someone judging me about my tastes in movies. I'll keep that private and hidden in the gaudy red envelopes that arrive weekly.
