Everything's Relative

Did you ever notice how things really only matter to you through your frame of reference. This is brought to mind thanks to an hour of my life NBC took that I will never get back. I get a call asking me to help test a video stream that the network is planning to do with Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira next month. I was told it would only take a few minutes, that turned into an hour long confernce call with all these technical people that I couldn't get out of. Arrgghhh.

Frames of reference. Today I was talking with someone at work who was also blogging. She was writing about things that made her laugh. One thing for her...stepping in dog doo with her bare feet. It made her laugh because it was disgusting. To me...not so much funny "ha, ha" as just disgusting. If it happened to me, I wouldn't be laughing. However, gross things made her laugh.

In other news...it's day two and my bamboo stick is still alive. How do you tell the stick is doing ok? I assume bamboo will just turn brown, but I really don't know. If all else fails I'll just paint the stick green and call it good.
