Thursday Mind Dump

The fact that it feels like a million degrees outside at 7am here on the surface of the sun gives me the distinct impression that today will be yet another hot one.

Watched yet another Michael Jackson special last night. I really think you have to be a thirtysomething to truly get this. When i was a kid in the 80's, particularly a kid who was really into music, Michael Jackson was a big deal. In fact Michael Jackson was the big deal. And despite all of his weirdness, much of which i'm sure his father needs to answer for, the guy was incredibly talented.

Today is Thursday but actually Friday. Kinda sorta. Thanks to July 4th falling on a Saturday we get Friday off work. Couple of events in the social calendar this weekend. Both of which will i'm sure involve loads of food and make it increasingly difficult for me to fit into my bikini this summer.

I'm continually baffled by the fact that corporate America allows certain individuals to do absolutely nothing and be compensated for it. Individuals who know how to say the right things to the right people at the right time and do diddly squat the rest of the time. Hopefully that was vague enough.

Still hoping and praying for the swift sale of the house which i once lived in and still pay for. Certain legal scenarios were put in place surrounding the sale of the house which result in a very tight timeframe to get the thing moved and a lot of upheaval for all involved if it doesn't sell soon. The proposed timeframe was not my idea and i think it ludicrous at best. But whatever.

Still absolutely loving the iPod touch i was given recently. Plus i'm old enough to marvel at the technology too.

Did I mention i have a 3 day weekend? Sweet.
