Omnibus

1. There is an awkward dynamic at play in computer-less temp jobs, when it comes to downtime.  It frightens the boss if you whip out a book, because then other office workers will think, “Oh, look, a temp with no work to do.  Somebody is wasting the company’s money.  And that’s why we can’t afford cocoa for the kitchen area anymore.”  The thoughtful temp instead passes work-less time in a subtler fashion.  Case in point: Today I memorized pi to 20 decimal places.*

2. I have an improv show on Thursday, and might have one on Friday.  But forget that noise.  You should go see the new Charlie Sanders one-man-show at UCB in NYC on Friday.  (Oh, it’s at 8pm?  Then you could see my shows, too.  Bonus!)

3. This live performance haunts my (morphorotic) dreams.  Some day soon I will write a post dissecting the lyrics of this song, possibly the worst lyrics ever written, ever, ever.

If you can make it all the way to the end of the video, you are awesome.

*Unless it isn’t 3.14159265358979323846 — if it isn’t, then I memorized pi to 20 incorrect decimal places.  Which is equally as useful to me.
