Random tidbits
I noticed a billboard today. It was for some sort of cigarettes. I don't remember the brand, just the Surgeon General's warning. It was something like: "Medical studies show that quitting smoking can help prolong your life." Yes, they called that a warning. I guess we don't want too much of that going on. If they're going to print "warnings" like that, they might as well go ahead and print lucky lottery numbers on the back.
Also, a lot of you may already know that I'm in the process of moving to Lawrenceville, GA. What I didn't realize until I saw it on a city limits sign today was that Lawrenceville is "Crape Myrtle City." I guess all the good nicknames were taken. But I guess there are worse things for a city to be known as.
The company I've gone to work for in Lawrenceville is headquartered in Sweden. We have a lot of Swedes working with us which has one advantage (at least in my opinion) when working in a cubicle environment. You can always hear the conversations going on around you, which can be quite distracting. But at least when those conversations are in Swedish, it's pretty easy (for me) to tune them out.
