The End of the World
There was a discussion of deadlines and timeliness at work this morning and as an example somebody mentioned that the end of the world could come tomorrow, and is that really a date you're going to believe?
Personally, I don't think the end of the world will come tomorrow, it seems much more likely today. I arrived at the train station to wait for the 7:58 as usual and found that the caltrain tickers were scrolling madly about this and that train being 15 - 60 min late. "... is experiencing problems in Mt View - will be one railing through that area and is running 60min late." I checked the schedule: that particular train was scheduled to leave Mt. View 80min prior. Hmmm... No mention of my train. I caught the next North bound to stop. Later an announcer reiterates that the delays were caused by train problems somewhere south of PA. It's not until I switch trains in Milbrae that an announcer tells us that it is due to a fatality in Mt. View.
Other indications of crazy end of the worldness: People in our office are being moved around as is the furniture. A senator got away with sending sexual content to pages while passing anti molestation legislation for how long??? Everybody is having a birthday. Everything seems to conspire toward confusion. And, given the lateness of my arrival and its cause and the rest of my week, I'm in an inexplicably good mood. I sense impending Doom, and yet I'm bubbly. Hmm. This is sometimes my reaction to chronic stress/blah though so I guess not terribly unusual. I get tired of being under the weather.
