Have you ever had one of those days when you drive to work and forget your exits? It's only morning and I have forgotten where I was going twice today. I went past the highway near my house and had to turn around and then I went past the exit to work and had to turn around. I wasn't thinking about anything important either. I was thinking of building a 2 Terabyte machine that will hold and stream my DVD's to my future cellphone - the N91 (a 4 gig mp3 player with a 2 megapixel camera phone). Sometimes I think my thinking is internalized and I miss the world around me. I didn't miss it just now when the fire alarms went off in the building. This is the second time in 3 months we have had fire drills. I remember at the IRS we had 2 drills in the 9 months I was there. Here we only had to walk across the street. At the IRS we had to walk about half a mile away from the building before they let us come back in. I was on the 6th floor and had to walk those stairs. Then they would prove their discrimination by letting all of the permanent employees in the building first while us contractors waited in the heat. Contractors are always thought of as the fall guy. However that makes us more accountable and better workers than perms because if we don't perform we can easily be fired. Anyway after having walked up three flights of stairs I am now exhausted. I watched the biggest loser last night. I don't know if I am going to watch it again. There is too much crying in that show. I guess I should start crying right now cause I made it up 3 flights of stairs. What an achievement.
