Deep Thoughts

Why aren’t we instantaneously notified when we try to recall an email? With computer programs and technology where it’s at these days, you would think that after you try to recall an email, you would be instantly notified if the person has already read it or it’s been recalled. There is nothing worse than sending an email to an executive, realizing you made a mistake in the email, trying to recall it, and then waiting for 10, 15, 60 minutes for outlook to figure out whether or not the email can actually be recalled. Your reputation at the company is on the line and all you can do is sit and stare at your computer, waiting anxiously to see if your email has been read or if you are safe.

What would hot girls do without cell phones? Hot girls rarely ever travel alone. They almost always have an entourage or at least a friend following them at all times. On a few rare occasions, I’ve caught a hot girl by herself, usually at a restaurant picking up food to-go, and they can never just sit there and wait for the food. They ALWAYS play on their cell phones, usually texting, sometimes talking. They need to make it look like they are wanted, like someone is constantly trying to get a hold of them. A confident person could sit there by themselves and be comfortable. Playing around on your cell phone when you know no one is trying to get a hold of you is just pathetic. I bet hot girls are actually the most insecure humans on the planet.

Whatever happened to Portugal? Remember back in the 16th and 17th century when Portugal was racing around the world with England, Spain and France, claiming territories and setting up trade routes. Has anyone heard anything from Portugal since then? What happened? I work with a girl from Spain, and she says that the Portuguese feel like they are second fiddle, though they don’t openly admit it. The country seems forgotten, separated from the rest of Europe by Spain. I can honestly say I know almost nothing about Portugal these days.

What is it about big black women not moving off bicycle paths? There is a large bike path that runs from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach that I often ride. Beachgoers are always crossing the path as it lays about 100 yards from the ocean. People are usually very courteous when crossing the path since the bike traffic makes it similar to an actual road. People wait to cross or keep to one side if they are walking on it. There is one group of people, however, that have absolutely no common courtesy when it comes to the path….big, black women. Whenever I see them on the horizon, I already know that they aren’t going to move when I come flying through. And yelling “on the right” doesn’t resonate with them, they simply turn around and look at me like I’m out of line. All you can do is come to a complete stop, and then slowly nudge your way around them, shooting them a glare as you start peddling again.
