engineers

sometimes i get to surf the internet at work... for work...

water dyes
  • these dyes are used by public works departments, sanitary authorities, engineers, and many more to those who need to trace water. we sell the tracer dyes in three forms: powder, tablets and liquid concentration.
i have yet to use them... but you never know.

Good Idea? Bad Idea?

full body scan?

i can't decide if it would be worth it. hmm... i hear the commercial on the radio and i imagine that there is something seriously wrong inside me and that without this i will die sooner than i would without it. but then again, wouldn't i die either way? or maybe a test like this would tell me that i am dying and put a fine point on that inevitable day... i mean, if you had something wrong with you that warranted a full body scan, would there be anything that you could do about it?

do you think that i could get a rebate if the test were positive with a terminal illness? maybe there is a terminal illness clause.

smoking...

um... smoking kills people... i don't understand.

we have a smoke shop here next to the place that i work and well... people are in and out of that place ALL day. ummm.... hello, is there something to the surgeon general's warning that maybe you didn't understand? oh wait... wait just a second here.... that doesn't apply to me. it doesn't count... i am not going to DIE. i am going to look cool..........

i think that i am beginning to understand the reasoning behind it all...
