Styrofoam Cups and Buzz Words

Today I am environmentally aware. Instead of using 40 Styrofoam cups and bowls which are provided to me each day in the break room of my corporate company, I have opted to bring my own ceramic coffee cup and a bowl. Not only am I doing a little to save the environment but I am also decreasing my chances of cancer, or so I am told. However, it seems like these days everything causes cancer or some type of fatal health problem – certain types of gum, bananas, Splenda. This is what MSNBC tells me anyway. Health might not be their best face, however, thank God for the live video feeds on Anna Nicole which have been contributing to MANY wasted billable hours at the office.

By the way, I officially loathe the word proprietary. As soon as it rolls off the lips of anyone wearing a suite, a feeling starts in the pit of my stomach like the acid is avalanching backwards up my esophagus. The overuse of certain “buzz words” is sickening and if you can not or will not spend time expanding your own vocabulary you shouldn’t be allowed to use the word proprietary, or any other word over 2 syllables for that matter. Now I feel better, I am going to go back to my Marvin Gaye, cold milk, and 1 million row excel sheets which Microsoft had the thoughtfulness to bestow.
