12:20:2002 Entry: "Ann : Kvetch about excess"

Kvetch about excess

Too much talk on NPR today about what to do this September 11.

First it was the week anniversary, then the two week, then the month, then the two month, three month, half year, and now the memorial to end all memorials, the year anniversary.

"My boss will let us employees get off early."
"My parents are flying out here to be with us on September 11."
"We have the day off so that everyone can attend special events."
"My family will be taking a trip to New York City."
"We'll have a special inservice at work where we share our feelings about what happened."

Geez...doesn't anyone have to just go to work like any other day and perform their mundane tasks that they do every day? Looks like the terrorists have changed things, haven't they? Them and the privileged celebration party people who always can afford to have an excuse for time off from work for whatever their mood strikes. You probably already know what both camps can do with a certain posterior part of my anatomy.

Stan will be at work, just like he always is. So will I, at my computer at home, doing whatever I need to do, just like I always am.

People, just move on. Or DO you want the terroists to win? I would really like to see how foolish they look to people from other cultures, because they look damn ridiculous to me. These are the same people who couldn't get away with a wedding for less than $10,000.

And what is this with people suing McDonald's because they're fat? Hello? Like, they didn't know McDonald's has fattening food? Oooh, big conspiracy...McDonald's has been slipping tiny balls of fat in our meals and they NEVER TOLD US! Some people just need to win the Darwin "too fat to breed and make replicas of myself because I can't find my genitalia" award. And you know what they'll do IF they just happen to win their lawsuit? Go out to celebrate with a big meal!

It's like suing your drug dealer.

It's like those suing the tobacco industry when it came as a shock that cigarettes is actually unhealthy ;)

Yeah, I just received notification by email that all Americans are supposed to drive with their headlights on during the day on Sept. 11. (Don't newer cars keep the headlights on all the time anyhow?) If I drive with the lights off, will somebody phone the terrorist hotline and report me as a Bin Laden sympathizer? Last but not least, how much more nonsense are we in store for behind this anniversary?
