Rain

from the beginning of a chapter in a book I was reading.  it spoke to me.  glad to not be feeling like this about work.

I wanted to be a rain salesman,
carrying my satchel full of rain from door to door,
selling thunder, selling the way air feels after a downpour,
but there were no openings in the rain department,
and so they left me dying behind this desk - adding bleeps
subtracting chunks - and i would give a bowl of wild blossoms,
some rain, and two shakes of my fist at the sky to be living.
-John Engman, "Work"

Yellow Pages Paperless Petition

Tired of getting phone books? This is a petition to move to paperless / opt out of getting the Yellow Pages:

Yellow Pages Paperless Petition & Official Opt-Out Registry

I am on a short break at work but when I have more time I plan to find other options to opt out of getting 5 phone books every year. I think it involves making calls. See the link below (I'll post a website if I find email opt out options):

How to Stop Receiving Phone Books...

Oh, my.

Here's an interesting blog post on the blog of a Portland author I enjoy and tend to align with. People I DON'T want to have at my dinner table: Pat Robertson.
