over the hump

Damnit. I had a great idea for a title for a post all damn day and now its gone. So as usual that will be the last thing I do...

I've been spending my lunch hours at work wondering around downtown Eugene tring to learn my way around down ther. I find foot the most effective way of learning my way around places. You are going slow enough to see everything and make connections to what is where. The next step is to pay close attention when you are the passenger. If you are the passenger in a place that you have been wondering makes that bit a bit easier. Then is navitgating it all on your own, like figuring out bus routes, driving though, or giving directions. But so far in exploring I've found a few book stores and not a whole lot else of particular interest to me. Hopefuly that will change as I wonder around a bit more.

I'm also witnessing some strange things at work. I can't decide if its some strange Geek-macheezmo or if its just a standard male ego and reation to the particular inviroment or combination of the two. Anyway you cut it the phnomenon is quite bothersome and sometimes takes a lot of self control not to a) correct them b) make fun of them c) tell them to shut the fuck up cause no one cares d) hit them. I think I will stop there. I think it is something you would have to witness to understand.
