Too funny...yet too true.

I love the posters at despair.com. They're a spin off of all of those cheesey motivational posters that came out about 5 or 6 years ago. Or what was considered "high art" at my previous full time job. The damn things were plastered all over the place. I guess they were supposed to make us feel motivated and happy to be there. Yeah. Right. Like that really worked.

Tonight I had another college fair, this time at Gettysburg College. I find these things enjoyable for a few reasons, but the least of which is all of the students (or potential students) I get to meet. I'll tell you, these kids have their heads on a lot stratighter than I did when I was college searching. Jeez. And they're so enthusiastic about the next phase in their life. So excited to see what is around the bend. I remember being like that once. Before life beat the hell out of any excitement I may have had and I became the cynical, slightly bitter person I am today. Somewhere in there is a part of me that is holding onto the idea that life can still be exciting.

Not sure where, but maybe if I drop about 20lbs I'll find it...sidebar, I was checking out Nutridiary while at work today. Only complaint I have is the whole thing is in bloody metric. I don't know metric! I mean we learned it maybe a year or two in high school but jeez, I was a history major for a reason here people.

As I was coming home tonight I tried to be impulsive but as I so often do at the critical moment, pulled back. I was thisclose to leaving a note on someone's car while he was at work (it was on my way back from the college fair) but didn't do it. Partially because I couldn't exactly remember what kind of car he drives and also because, well, I chickened out. I didn't want him to think I was stalking him. Sigh. Opinions? Should I have? I mean, I just wanted to say hi and try to start mending a fence. What do you all think?
