where y = productivity at work and x = time spent on the Fray

I watched The Caine Mutiny last night for the first time. It has only just occurred to me what a coincidence that is. Anyway, I wish I had time to really explore that here, but I don’t.

I’ve made it a habit to listen to Michael Savage on Tues and Thurs on my way home from school. That guy is a total lunatic. Anyway, last night he described the Fort Hood shooter as a one-man sleeper cell and then posited that the Obama admin, along with the sycophantic MSM, was going to cover it up in the name of political correctness. He then went on to (again) compare Obama to Hitler. I’m curious as to Inkberrow’s take on this.

As an aside:
I know it’s probably bad form to say this, but I really do love and appreciate the Fray. And you people. When I spend time here, it’s not like playing solitaire. It’s not even like reading a newspaper. I believe it to be truly worthwhile interaction, and I think it’s made me a deeper thinker. Go ahead and make fun of me. I don’t care, because the Fray has given me a thicker skin too.

The thing is, I have a problem, I guess. If I come here and start to get involved, I can hardly stop. I can’t get any work done. And as much as I hate my job, I need to keep it for as long as it’s available.

Anyway, not that many of you care, I do come here briefly almost every day to check up on all of you.

Long live the Procrastination Fray!

I see Inkberrow's take on this is made clear a few posts below.

the potential downside of the fray while still adding something worthwhile. as for me, I don't intend being here long, in geologic time. it's like eating potato chips and if you're not careful just about as nutritious.

Is that what Savage said?

No wonder he can't travel to London.

Man that whole line of "reasoning" really rings a bell. Could swear I heard someone say pretty much the same crapola yesterday.

Re: The Caine.

Now you gotta go watch My Three Sons.

Fred MacMurray just looks sneakier as Steve Douglas once you've seen his Tom Keefer.

(Michael Savage?)

As you can see, I need all the help I can get. Don't hesitate for a moment to agree with me fully in a separate thread.

I love this board, too. And Rachel, seeing your here more often makes it all that much better.

I can't listen to Savage for more than 10 minutes at a time. His bile is so ugly, and he is so full of hate that it drags down my spirit. How do you do it?

Your job won't last long.

Geo. Dubya took an ax,

Gave employment 40 whacks.

When Barrack saw what he had done

He gave employment 41.

I think because it's so absurd, it doesn't offend me. Or maybe I'm in just the right mood after school. I don't know. I've only listened 6 or 8 times. I'm sure I'll tire of it soon enough.

The thing is, I miss AM talk radio. I used to listen to these guys, John and Ken, on KFI AM 640 in LA, during the OJ trial. I was totally addicted. Then at some point they became these total rabid right wingers. I swear they didn't start out that way.

I work for a bank. I'm giving it about 6 months. Hence the whole going back to school thing.

I know working at a bank sucks but my daughter worked at one during and right after high school and now because of the experience she gained there she is making very big bucks working for a University. Sometimes it pays to hang in there. At least if something happens with the school thing the banking experience will stand you in good stead...just a mother's opinion. heh

Work is the vector product of Fray and Distance.

Savage is like that irritating tooth ache you jusssst have to let you tongue poke at. The strange thing is how he completely reverses himself within any ten minute period and none of his TRUE listeners give a damn. Lots of anger in that man.
