Sitrep: Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Crashed and burned...
It seems I'm full of questions, yet empty of answers. So today is going to be my "Why..." day. Maybe I should do this monthly? It might be good for me!>
Why is the US government debating whether or not to label the deaths of Armenians in Turkey in 1915-17 genocide when genocide is currently taking place in various places around the world yet we aren't doing much of anything to stop it? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7035597.stm
Why is it okay to debate after the fact, but stand idly by during? (The Holocaust, Rwanda, Darfur, come to mind.)
Why do people get so upset and have such heartburn over Spanish being spoken routinely in this country, or having signs and directions and instructions in multiple languages, that we have to consider a law to make English the national language? I'm fairly well-traveled, and even in the freakin' backwater places of South America I've been to there have been multi-lingual signs. And many people speaking, gasp, English.
Why is it that a handful of states get to select who gets the presidential nomination for each party?
Why can't they be made to appeal to as many of us as possible to get the darn nomination?
Why wouldn't that get a moderate in office?
Why do I have to keep reading the news?
Why is it when a coworker screws up, I'm always the one spending hours out of my already packed day fixing things? (Well, this time it was me, the C.O.O., and another coworker. None of us initiated the problem, either.)
Why do people think because they screwed up on their planning, didn't attend the class they needed the first 3 times it was offered, are going on vacation instead of attending the class you scheduled when and where you did just for them, they can go "over your head" to get into another, private class offering? One that a competitor is footing the bill for?
Why do so many people think they are so much better or more deserving of special treatment than everyone else?
Why is any of the above my problem?
Why is it when someone sees the Rubix Cube on your desk - even though it has a DON'T YOU DARE! sign on it, even though you have ANOTHER ONE they can touch - they just have to play with the perfect one?
Why do I have to have a perfect one on my desk anyway? (And why do I have to have the messed up one where I can't see it?)
And why is it when someone says "I know what I'm doing" you know you're about to be blown out of the water?

Those are all good questions. Marina asked me one the other day.
Why do we PARK in the DRIVEway? I hadn't heard that question in a long time.
Have a good day.
And DRIVE on the PARKway. ;)
[g] Give her a hug from me when she gets back from her camping trip. Have you heard from her? Are you surviving okay?
