closing time

OK, not really, but that's the song on in the background and I always get an excited feeling in the pit of my stomach when I hear it. As if I was about to go loop-de-loop on a rollercoaster.

Got to watch focus groups today. Can't tell you about what, but I can say that there's something so odd about sitting behind the mirrored glass eating pizza and M&Ms while a complete stranger discusses, in intimate detail, aspects of your product that really don't amount to much in the grand scheme of things. Sure, big money decisions will soon be made. But now and again it hits me that I'm sitting in a sterile, air-conditioned room helping decide the future of "insert mass produced product here" while children starve and soldiers kill each other in other countries. C'mon. I'm glad I have a job, but is this what they're fighting for? Maybe....and maybe that's ok. But it's not ok that there's some kid who'd gladly beg me for the crust I'm leaving behind because I'm scared of too many carbs.

Shut up y'all. Just because it's been said before by many others doesn't mean I ought to keep it to myself. In fact if no body's reacting than maybe it hasn't been said enough....maybe it's time for a loop-de-loop.
