The Obama infomercial was on last night – I didn’t watch it though I’ve heard it was well done. Still, who was it directed at? The undecided voters? I have a difficult time understanding why someone – even after the inundation of the media – would still not have made up their mind. One argument I heard was that they wanted to have all the information before voting. Well, I have news for you. It’s all lies. Or policital speak that sounds like truth depending on who you are. And as far as not really liking either of them – another argument I heard – well, it’s not about liking them, it’s about picking the one least likely to make things worse. I mean, seriously, make up your mind and go vote.<\/p>\n

A few months ago – I guess it would have been sometime in the spring – I built a framework of wood and plexiglass and hung it over the urinal in the men’s room so we could put the twice a week student paper there to read. You know, while we were “otherwise” occupied and standing there. <\/p>\n

I made it my job to keep this up to date until the summer when the paper wasn’t published. In the fall, I started up restocking it with new issues – but I noticed that the “old” paper wouldn’t be there when I went to add the new one. It would just be an empty frame. It got so bad that the paper would be gone within a few hours. I decided that someone was either stealing it – which made no sense since the paper is free and easy to get – or they really didn’t like the paper and was throwing it away. <\/p>\n

I finally got tired of the futility of keeping it stocked and took the framework down a couple of days ago. The double-sided foam tape didn’t come down well and each time I use that urinal, I take a moment and scrape a little more off. <\/p>\n

Kinda disappointing. I dunno who was removing the papers – and I haven’t asked since I didn’t ask permission to put it up in the first place.<\/p>\n

Work has been busy and frustrating today. Looking forward to tomorrow to make my annual rounds. <\/p>\n

later…<\/p>\n
