Elevator Music

The only thing more boring than elevator music is the conversations that you hear two people having on the elevator. It used to be varied boring conversations, but now they are all the same. People whining about the Yankees. It's unbelievable how everyone around here seems to be emotionally invested in this team. During no other sports season (Football, (Hockey), Basketball) did anyone ever make a peep about an athlete. Now everyone is talking about this hex that is on the Yanks. Who cares? Baseball is boring. It's the only sport where you can actively talk about other things and not concentrate on, and completely catch everything that is going on. It is such an uninvolved sport. I'm guessing that's why so many people love it.

The other thing about the elevator that annoys me is that people have an obsession with pushing buttons. I love the 'Close Doors' button on the elevator here. It's very obviously a placebo. It doesn't light up, and the doors never close any sooner if you bang on it. But every time someone steps in, they'll press it two or three times. People also tend to hit the buttons to floors if they are already lit up, if that's their destination. Stop doing that.

And finally, it's been a rough week for my mom. She saw my brother's name in the Rockville Centre Herald police blotter as he was picked up for an open container. No big deal, but I'm sure she was absolutely embarassed at work. However, and most likely far worse, my younger bro went to a Jamaican bar last night, despite having work this morning. My mom found him passed out on the sofa downstairs with vomit 'all over' at 5 am. I'm sure she exaggerated the magnitude of this event, but still, poor mama. She thought her sons were all grown up. Hopefully I'll manage to stay out of too much trouble this weekend. If a third alcohol related incident occurs within a one week period, I can't imagine she'd be anything but irate.

Maybe I'll take it easy this weekend.

Probably not.
