Pissed
So I get on the elevator on the eighth floor, heading down to the first. A girl, who is speaking in some far eastern language into her blue tooth, gets in after me. She proceeds to block the sensor for a good minute before choosing her final destination - 7th floor. She couldn't walk down the twelve steps it takes to get there?
I guarantee she waited longer for the elevator to arrive on the eighth floor than it would have taken to walk. Guaranteed.
It happens more times that not. If I am taking an elevator, I am taking it at least four floors. I feel anything less than that and it's just quicker to head right to the stairs.
Sorry, but had she been more focused on where she was going and less focused on her conversation, she might have realized she was only travelling one flight down.
Pleased (kind of)
This morning marked the first day of practice for the baseball team here. We started at 5:45am and by 8:30am, we had done more than most people on campus will do all day. We had four pitchers go live, 35 pitches - some looked OK and some looked less than OK. Velocity was down for all four, but they located pretty well. The infielders had a rough go at it - taking ground balls on the basketball courts can be tricky - they get on you a little quicker because of the wood. The hitters looked as expected - unable to really square up too many balls against the live arms. Overall, for Day 1, it wasn't great, but it wasn't awful. At least no one got hurt. Day 2 tomorrow begins at 7:45am - lucky me, getting to sleep in tomorrow.
Pathetic
Duke. Yes, I am a huge fan and they did beat Boston College by 16 at Cameron Indoor. The thing that scares me is that only five of the nine players who saw the court scored - Singler and Ryan Kelly had 14 apiece, Seth Curry had 20, Nolan Smith 28 (and 8 assists), and Mason Plumlee chipped in 8 (and 12 rebounds). And of the 200 minutes, they accounted for 164. The bench got 36 minutes and was 0-4 with 4 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 turnovers, 4 steals (all from Miles Plumlee), and 4 personal fouls. They better get their shit in order down there in Durham.

That drives me absolutely slug nutty.
In my building, my agency occupies 60% with the remaining 40% split amongst about a dozen other miniscule agencies.
I can't tell you the amount of times that I would be traveling from the 8th (where I is) to the 1st or vice versa, and have to stop at one floor only to travel to the next floor because someone is too lazy to walk around the corner and take the stairs.
Sometmes people would apologize for doing so, but more often than not, they won't.
Lazy people! You should have kicked her ass back out the door and told her to catch the next one! To boot, I bet she was one of those loud talkers that felt you should be a part of the conversation.
As for baseball, that is awesome. I loved the start of the season in gym, I felt like we were finally ready to get started! Unfortunately, that wore off after about a week. Hopefully, you can get outside soon.
I couldn't agree more about the stairs..I. take th damn stairs and I'm disabled 4 Gods sake!
As far as Duke, bro all I can say is don't sweat it, you could be a Purdue fan like me...Ach!
that's why America has a debt and weight problem - people are lazy!
too lazy to pay with funds they have (cash) - go to the bank and withdraw cash. credit card statement comes, idiots pay the minimum and keep spending beyond their means.
walk America - people who stalk you at the supermarket for a spot, give it a rest you tub of shit - get out of the car and take some healthy steps - God knows you need them
@thromoo - Purdue hit a rough stretch - they'll be ok
@CBC - it went well today - being inside blows but there could be worse things -
@G - apologies go a long way, people don't realize that
@Samuel - we figured it out, it's only been two days of practice, and one was at 6am
@TRM - GO DUKE and UCONN
