light fuse, get away!

robin commented on how it seems i've had a short fuse lately, and i would have to agree. as for the cause of said short fuse, i have no idea. maybe i'm stressed about something...although i don't feel it conciously. maybe it's just that time of the year. whatever it is, i'm going to try to remain calm in the face of anger. it does nobody any good, including myself, to get angry. i'll just try to be my normal, annoyed self.

last night i decided to take oliver to the dog park after the sun had set. when we go and it's dark, i clip a running light on his collar so i can tell where he is. well, as we entered a dog walked up to ollie, took a long look at his collar, and then promptly grabbed the light and chewed it up. why are dogs so dumb? serenity now.

on my run last night, some old lady almost hit me. i was on the sidewalk, she was making a right hand turn. why would anyone ever check for pedestrians in that situation? she never had any idea that i was there. serenity now.

there is this little guy at work, a PhD, who acts like he knows it all. seriously, no matter what topic you are talking about, he speaks as if he has done extensive research on the topic. actuation force profiles for a novel nasal delivery device, marathoning, nudey bars...you name it, this guy is an expert. most of the time he turns out to be wrong, and nobody ever calls him on it. come to think of it, that is how all the PhDs are at this place. it really annoys me that they make twice as much as me for doing a more shabby job. why would it be logical to actually know what you are talking about? serenity now.

well, i've never been one to say i don't have issues.

has anyone heard the new lemonheads album? i have not, but i just heard about it. they were playing the twin cities a few nights ago i think. and by 'they' i mean evan dando and the people currently playing backup. anyway, it's a name i haven't heard in awhile...

I've heard one of the new lemonhead songs on the alt radio station up here. I thought it was pretty good.

there is a real problem with phds and their personalities. there are a lot of time when I feel like screaming because the culture of academia is one that nourishes and encourages egos (not to be confused with eggos). somehow people need to be reminded that they they are still human and its OK to make mistakes... thats when the air of superiority will dissipate like the gaesous form of last night's "mega beef 'n bean burrito with extra banana peppers".

phds can be real assholes.
