2004-06-02 - 9:05 p.m. views from the local road On the way to work this morning, I saw the URYIML8 car again. Which is kind of funny because a few cars in front of it was YW84U - which I thought was a much better choice of reading material for people behind you. They were both passing me at ludicrous speed anyway. Excuse me for not going 90 in a 65 zone. Overheard from the cube next door as the guy booted up his computer this morning: "Uh oh, what's this? Something's unzipping." Hmm. Sounds like a personal problem. What he was probably getting unzipped was the new software that goes along with my weekend project. Is it going to happen this weekend or not? Will I be working? What will happen? I have no idea. But as the guy said on Superstar USA last week, "the suspension is killing me." I went out to my car at lunch today, and saw something peculiar... as you cross from the building to the parking lot, there's a pedestrian crossing sign. One of those yellow diamond-shaped signs with the black stick figure on it - guy crossing the street, in this case. All normal so far, yes? Well, I glanced up at it as I was looking both ways (because I am a safe pedestrian) and someone has been happy with a spray paint can - the stick man now has a large protrusion coming out of his mid section. I'm presuming someone meant it to be a stick dick and not a really serious hernia. I had to laugh, even though it's not really all that funny, just idiotic. But it startled me enough to amuse me. Luckily no one was around. Unauthorized laughing would be bad, let alone laughing at deliberate pornographic defacement of company property. My goodness. On my way back in, it was still there, which honestly surprised me a bit, the way these folks are just all over insignificant stuff like this immediately. So I started thinking... which is always trouble. I thought - probably no one from security or facilities has seen it yet. That must be the reason it's still there. Then I thought - maybe someone should tell them. Then I thought - not me. I'm just a temp. Perhaps there's something I don't know. Maybe it's supposed to be there. Maybe it's an example of civil disobedience and someone got a permit to draw it. Maybe it's the new company logo and they're testing it on us. Then I thought - well I'm not going to say anything - but if I did, who would I tell? It's not like telling the receptionist that someone left their lights on. I wouldn't really tell facilities - there is no line on the org chart, even dotted, that would let me speak directly to facilities regarding anything outside the perimeter of my own cubicle. So, to whom would you report the sudden, inappropriate appearance of a cock on company property? HR maybe? They'll probably take the sign down and make the stick man go through a diversity awareness program. my mood - |
