did you see this new excedrin tension headache commercial genre? a man, sitting, looking directly into the camera, perfectly cropped into thirds, telling the audience...."this stuff works." i admit, i want it. agressive marketing telling me exactly what i need and what i need it for. indeed. marketing.this week my company decided to stop marketing for a certain type of business. the result? 57 employees of our 140 person staff were layed off. 57. i was supposed to cut some people in my department, but i fought for three days not to. and apparently my rationale worked. my department is intact. my 12 people stay intact.
my neck seems to hurt, a combination of bad posture and stress, and maybe that is why the tension headache medicine is so appealing.
everytime i enter the freeway, i am on guard of getting in an accident. i remain the defensive driver that i have always been, but tonight, i wanted to honk and swerve and be that asshole that everyone hates for taking them all on the right hand side. fuck them and their excruciating excursions. they suck anyway.
im bitter tonight, and trying to maintain some happy floaty attitude that i have been striving for for weeks.
beer is good for a friday night at home.
happiness is a state of mind.
chemicals rule your body.
