Another week has slid under the bridge. Some of it has been pretty good while some of it has just been. I'm concerned about a friend who's "Office Space" experience mirrors one I had back in 1994. I keep meaning to write to her and tell her that I empathize, but time being what it is, seems to slip by ever more quickly.

I'm noticing a fair amount of rudeness both in the people around me and in myself, though I truly try and curb the latter. Some days I do a better job than others. Fortunately, the rudeness I see stems mostly from people whom I do NOT call friends, so it is usually a little easier to handle. At the same time, if a certain individual picks up a friend of mine by his neck again in my presence, he will regret it. I still need to remind myself from time to time that I cannot (should not) use what meager training I have on others outside of class.

I will refrain from comment about my own supervisor. No matter how silly he can be, he does not even hold a candle to my friend's.

Listen up people and take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice. (Paraphrased from Sydney Freedman on M*A*S*H.)
