Random Thoughts

So while I sit at work am allowed to do nothing, I have tons of random thoughts. Here are a few:

1. What is the deal with automatic flushing toilets? I have love hate relationship with them. I love the fact that you never have to touch some gross, grimy, handle to make everything disappear, however, have you ever felt like those automatic toilets are limiting the time they want you in stall? I don't know about you, but the second I stand up "woosh" down everything goes, and I haven't even finished pulling up, tucking in, zip, button, and pull down. Then I feel silly because I walk out five minutes after it's flushed and I know people are just thinking, "wow what else did you do in there?" So automatic flushing toilets, can please not rush me everytime I use you?

2. Handicapped doors vs. Lazy people. Oh my word! Have you ever realized how slowly those doors open? Well I have. And lazy people who do not even NEED to use them decide they are perfect for them. They push the button, wait thirty seconds, can barely slip in between the doors at this rate and then do it again with the second door. Do they realize with all that waiting and maneuvering, they could have meandered up to the third floor of the Library and back down again? Silly people, those doors aren't for you. Stop being lazy.

3. So because of the long hours Danny and I are on campus, and while it was still warm outside, I put blankets and pillows in the back of my car so that after my classes, I could take a comfortable nap. I would cuddle up, do some homework, then fall asleep. It was the perfect arrangement. Here is what I loved most about it. Again, the lazy people who are trying to find a close parking spot to the building. They see that I am opening up the back door, putting my stuff in, taking off my shoes, and making my make shift day bed. The second they spot me walking out the building doors with keys in hand, the blinker goes on, and they stalk me to my car. Watching my ritual they sit and wait. The door closes, I pull out the homework I desire to work on, the car is still waiting. I start working on it. I text my friend to tell her how ridiculous this car is, and finally after they start inching forward not wanting to get too close in case I am going to be backing up with no engine, or backup lights they try to assess the situation. Finally, after waiting for a good 5-10 minutes (depending on how lazy they are really are) zoom away in hopes of another close parking spot. Sorry buddy. Because you sat there for 10 minutes, you missed all the other 30 spots that had opened up. Ever heard of exercise?

4. Married friends who think that just because they are wanting to get pregnant, that I do to. You know who you are... B.P. What's up with that?

5. Registration. Seriously? You think they would have it figured out by now to make it work correctly.

  2. Oh my gosh, I laughed soooo hard on number one that there are still tears in my eyes after finishing the whole thing. The tears were running down my face and I was trying to read it to Juan, who couldn't understand me because I was laughing so hard while trying to read out loud...pretty sure you made my whole day.

  3. 1. UGH! I love not having to tough the gross stuff with automatic flushers but I ALWAYS feel stupid when the toilet flushes and I still have to pull up, tuck, zip, straighten, unlock, and extricate myself from the stall like 5 minutes after it flushed the evidence. I knew there was a reason we're cousins. :P

    2. Hey I use the handicap sometimes because I can smack it with my foot and then I don't have to touch anything with my hands... and I still use hand sanitizer afterward. :P

    3. That is an amazing idea and I love it. If I had to drive to school I would totally do it! :P Maybe when I get old and married I'll have to try it out.

    4. You mean you're not?

    5. I hate registration and the fact that I have to wake up so early now to do it. 4:50 is just way to early to ensure I get the classes I need... and I still didn't get one. I liked when it was midnight because then I only had to wait until 11 PM :P I also don't like the big button that says "withdraw" or something... I'm always scared I'm going to push it on accident and have to redo EVERYTHING... AGAIN!
