Mall Sales People

So apparently the newest method in pushy sales tactics = "smarmy sales person with accent" + "I need to ask you a question?"

Does anyone really want to buy lotion from a smarmy sales guy at a kiosk in the mall?

Irony?

Someone needs to explain to me the difference between smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol. Both have regulations as far as age, both are mood altering substances, both are legal. Then why can a place of work prohibit the use of alcohol on it's premises but not the use of tobacco? Why is my place of work eliminating healthy options like free fruit and milk but spending money on rebuilding smoking shelters so the poor smokers don't freeze in the middle of winter while they're out killing themselves?

Completely Random

I would like a daily/weekly email or blog that gives me algebra or calculus problems. It would then provide the solution and perhaps a nice practical application of that problem. I want to remember my 6 quarters of calculus.

I might start reading my Quantum Chemistry book again. Maybe it'll make more sense now that I haven't though about chemistry in many many years.

Television Shows That Could Go Away

My list of Television shows that I wouldn't feel bad about their cancellation is growing.  Of course I won't stop watching them while they're on but I'd really like it if someone would make the decision to get these off the air, they're getting so bad:

• Nip/Tuck
  
• Lost
  
• Smallville
  

More Annoyances

• It's still O.K. to flush the toilet, I promise.
  
• Closing drawers and cupboards when you are done in the break room is EASY.  Do it.
  
• Stop blaming everyone else and fix my damned car.
• If it was really that dangerous outside don't you think they'd cancel work?  Why do you get to stay home while everyone else is here?

Signs

If I were to make some signs to post around my place of work they would read:

• "It's O.K. to flush the toilet by hand if it doesn't flush automatically.  You can do it.  Give it a try."
• "The video game room is not a conference room."
• "Not everyone likes your perfume."

My Wii Fit

I love my Wii Fit. I do not love that I have to select each exercise, do the 30 second activity, and then go through more menus to pick the next exercise. There doesn't appear to be a way that I can set up a "routine" and just do, say, all the yoga poses in succession. Why is this? And when I do a search on the web for this issue, I'm not finding anyone else complaining about this. I can't be the only one that thinks this is annoying? Isn't there anyone out there that has a hack for the Wii Fit? Isn't Nintendo coming up with an update/upgrade for the Wii Fit to make this possible? Common' people! Get with the program!
