Do You Take A Lunch Break?

Probably true:

A study by chicken fast food chain KFC Corp., found that 60 percent of workers in Corporate America actually considered the lunch hour “the biggest myth of office life.”

I'd agree with the article that in some instances it is self-imposed. I certainly feel like I get more done during the day taking a working lunch. Then again it might be the nature of the business that I'm in. Who knows.

Attention Notre Dame Fans

There's something about you that makes me dislike you. Don't worry though, you're not as bad a Red Sox fans, although you're slightly worse than Redskins fans. Here you go:

1. Simply being Catholic is not a reason that allows you to root for Notre Dame in college football.

That's only a small part of the article. Well said Clay, well said.

How Much Was Your Raise This Year?

Was it better than 0.7%? Gotta love the NY Times:

Unfortunately, these policies are unlikely to come from the current White House. This administration prefers tax cuts for the lucky ones in the top five percent.

“You just cannot be a meat-eating environmentalist”

EVER since “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore has been the darling of environmentalists, but that movie hardly endeared him to the animal rights folks. According to them, the most inconvenient truth of all is that raising animals for meat contributes more to global warming than all the sport utility vehicles combined.

Wow. Maybe vegans aren't that crazy after all. I consider myself a bit of an environmentalist but I'm not sure I could give up eating animal protein. Mmm....Brazilian barbeque...

Breaking News: Most Flights Are Late

Why is this even a story? Do you ever wonder about those people who rush to get onto the plane and have seats in the front? Or how about when the plane lands and the people in the back stand up immediately looking to be the first ones out?

Dinner...with Frank Caliendo?

There's a good chance that I had dinner with some friends yesterday and one of the people in attendance was Frank Caliendo. He didn't do the John Madden impression though.

On another note I just started another blog with a college friend. Its just about sports. Check it out, bookmark it, read it:

Homeownership

Owning a home is nice, but maintenance is tough. I think I need to make more money so I can afford a maid. Sheesh.

Seattle

Took another trip to Seattle to visit another friend from college. Seattle is a cool city with seafood, Starbucks, and hippies. Pike Place Market is awesome...flying fish and other fresh food. I went there on a Monday morning and the place was still packed. I can't imagine what its like on the weekend.

Kansas City

Took a trip to Kansas City to visit a friend from college. Not really a whole going on in that city...except for BBQ. Good stuff. I don't think there are many vegans in KC.

Early Morning Run...With A Wrench?

So this morning I went on my morning run like I usually do. This time around along the way I spot what appears to be a homeless man helping an old woman change a flat tire on the side of the road. Like the upstanding citizen that I am I go over and try to help the cause. No luck. The bolts on the wheel are on way too tight and even I (with my superhuman strength) could not remove them. I tried.
