Friday Afternoon Confessional
I confess that when I was a kid, I always refused to eat bruised apples, or at least I'd try to cut out or eat around the bruised parts. Now I realize that it doesn't taste any different at all -- in fact, I bite into the bruised parts first. (I'm eating apples because I'm trying to "keep the doctor away.")
I confess that last night I dreamt about cancelling a credit card. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of horrible perversion that represents.
I confess that I'm still pretty passive-aggressive.
I confess that yesterday I got an oil change, but I didn't get the $50 fuel system cleaning service or whatever they said, so now my truck is going to completely break down. I confess that I enjoy the trend of recent years of hiring women to work at the oil change places, particularly the woman who was working yesterday.
I confess that yesterday I thought about doing a post that represented my corporate annual report. The main point was to put that I had millions of dollars in "Goodwill and other intangible assets," but then I got started down this blind alley of trying to decide how to account for my degrees (Is their initial value equal to the cost of classes? To the entire cost of attendance? How would I handle the amortization?). Something where I thought in such detail could go one of two ways: either it would be (1) moderately funny or (2) the worst and most tedious post in history. I did a little CBA and decided that the best route was to confess that I thought about doing the post, but not actually do the post.
Feel free to join the chorus of confession.
