I went to Eat and Park last evening for dinner – or rather, tried to. See, the new smoke free Ohio went into effect last night – prompting the short-term closure of the normally 24 hour restaurant. Eat and Park closed last night at 8:00 PM – and I had arrived at 8:06. They were closed in order to clean the smoking section of the restaurant – but why that necessitated closing the whole thing remains a mystery. Sandblasting of the walls? Sub-Sonic pulses to remove trace particles from the carpet? Concentrated mists of Lye in the air? I don’t know – and I ended up going to Steak and Shake since they have been smoke free for a while and weren’t affected by the change over.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the smokers in my building are already looking for loop-holes. <\/p>\n

So, ultimately good – but also kinda stupid.<\/p>\n

In the same catagory is the Loyalty Oath that’s come up recently. This essentially says that “I’m not a terrorist and I don’t help terrorists”. And you have to sign it before you can work here.<\/p>\n

Which is great. I’d rather not work with terrorists – but it’s also worthless. Are they going to say, “Oh, sorry. I totally forgot I was a terrorist, I can’t sign this,”<\/p>\n

Nope. They’re going to lie. I mean, if they really are a terrorist then a little lie on some paperwork is the least of their worries. <\/p>\n

So, we get more paperwork, a little bit more fear that “they’re potentially everywhere” and then a little false sense of security that we’ve got some paperwork to protect us. <\/p>\n

And on that note – I’ve got some forms to fill out. So, back to work…<\/p>\n
