Join the Safety Team!!

This made me laugh, check this out…from the retards on our “safety team” at work. I’m certain they made that title up. I can finally put my mind at ease, knowing that there's a committee sitting around thinking of ways to make people safer in our hazardous, climate-controlled office environment. Our company's "Safety Committee" is about as useful as a "Rwandan Obesity Clinic", a "Chinese Democratic Party", or a Planned Parenthood office in Salt Lake City .

“It’s the safety committee! Saving office drones from carpal tunnel syndrome! Now hosting coffee-pouring classes!”

This email was a real gem, thank you safety team! I would never have guessed that I should walk carefully when the ground is covered in water. Why, I wouldnt even have noticed that it was pissing rain this morning if you hadn't told me! What really cracks me up is that this email would only be read AFTER someone had walked through the lobby and elevator coming in to work. What if I had broken my neck in the lobby because I hadn’t yet received this vital information!?!?!

Just words

Why do I love, and why is beauty so powerful? I think I understand that each and every instance of beauty is a promise..an example, of a life that can end in balance, with symmetry, purpose, and hope - even without explanation. Beauty has no explanation, but it's product is love.
The beauty that I see is absolute, and needn't explained or interpreted, just seized; The light on her hair, her entire body, part by part, in the light, in the dark; her smile, the way she moves, the coincidence of colors in her dress and her eyes; Her fingers as they rest in my hand, the pace of her breathing, the sweetness of her scent, the taste of her mouth.
Such things - and I have only brushed the surface - put to shame any poor words I can use to describe them.
