I have nothing to say today

But that won't stop me from writing a blog post anyway. And I'm only going to give myself exactly 7 minutes (Why 7 minutes? I don't know) to write it, so here goes some random thoughts:

• Like everyone else, I hate the new Facebook layout. Like everyone else, I'll probably get used to it and learn to live with it, like I have every other change to Facebook. I actually don't care about Facebook's endless need to move things around for no real purpose, but two things about the new layout really bug me: 1) Why can't I see ALL of the latest posts? That's why I get on Facebook, to see what's happening with the people I care about. I've already hidden myself the people I DON'T care about (Uh, sorry any of you reading this). I don't need a computer algorithm determining what I do and don't want to see. 2) What's with the thing in the upper right. It's like a Facebook summary feed, which would make sense except that I'M ALREADY ON FACEBOOK!
• I didn't watch the TWO AND A HALF MEN opening episode this season. I take that back. I DID watch about the first ten minutes of it because Lisa wanted to, but that's about five times more of the TV show than I'd ever seen before, so I didn't see why I would want to watch this new version when I hadn't seen the old version. The ten minutes I did watch didn't look bad, though. I got the feeling that there were plenty of inside jokes and cameos in the opening funeral scene, but I didn't know what was going on and during all of the canned laughter felt sort of like a college student who walks into a class where he/she didn't do the prerequisites.
• I've never liked salt water taffy, anyway, and--while I can understand why you might buy salt water taffy at a beach location--I've never understood why places like Gatlinburg or Cumberland Falls or other inland locations sell salt water taffy--do they think we think that they pulled that salt water out of the nearby ocean?
• I'm in sort of a bad mood at work because several people here are making some important decisions without prior planning that I know are going to come back to bite them in the butt, and I'll be one of the people who has to come in and clean up. I hate when people ask for my advice, I give it, and then they ignore it, especially when I tell them that I'm 100% certain that my advice is right. I'm not taking guesses here--I'm CERTAIN your planned course of action is the wrong course of action.
• Speaking of being in a bad mood, my cell phone just rang and I could tell by the area code that it was someone I didn't know, probably a sales call. I COULD have just not answered it, but I was hoping--Oh, I was hoping!--that it was a live person calling so that I could light into them about calling me even though my number was on the national Do Not Call list. But alas, it was a recording (about lowering my credit card bills), and I was left unsatisfied.

And that's my seven minutes people (actually 8 after spell check).
