So I was at work last week when I saw this lady’s annual
pass and her name was…Gay. I have never met a person name Gay. I mean,
I’ve heard of fictitious people name Gay, like the ever popular Gaylord Focker
from Meet the Parents. But can you imagine living your life with the name Gay? Imagine
all the explaining this person has to do when introducing oneself; like when
they are meeting new people, it’s like “Hi! I’m Gay. Nice to meet you” or in
class, “Is there a Gay in here?” Yeah
that was an interesting moment. When I told
one of my friends who works at the Mad Hatter at Disneyland,
she said they wouldn’t have written that name on the back of the hat unless
they actually saw proof that her name was Gay. That’s kind of unfair for any
person named Gay because other people like John, Susan, Sarah, etc…, don’t have
to show their ids for their names to be stitch on the back of their hats. FYI: “The boy's
and girl's name Gay \gay\ is of Old French origin, and its meaning is
"glad, lighthearted". A surname
in the Middle Ages. It has declined in usage as a
given name due to its general appropriation as a term denoting
homosexuality.”

| I saw a blind man cut to the front of the Taco
Bell line in the school's cafeteria today. In FRONT of 15 people
already waiting in line to order their food, and not one person said
anything. Some had puzzled looks on their faces  , some smile  and some snickered  . But not one person told him to go to the back of the line.
What do you guys think? I think in this situation, saying something would have been a no win solution. How
do you tell a blind man, who already bumped into my lunch table right
before he cut in line, that he cut in line? I would not have said
anything. Would someone
be heartless in saying something, or would we be contributing to the
ongoing ness of pity that people with disabilities face by not saying
anything. If he were a regular person with no
disabilities, there is no way he would have gotten away with it. I'm
pretty sure the only reason he got away with it, and with no one saying
anything, was because they felt sorry for him. I did, even though I
wasn't waiting in line. I mean he's blind you know, but does that make
it right?

| So I'm confused? Do they want me to park for 1hr or 2? Hey maybe I can
get away with parking for 3hrs. I'll just add both of them together.
LOL 
I get a sense that there might be some "miscommunication" between the owners of this Asian plaza.

| I was watching the news yesterday morning when they
introduced this new segment/feature they are doing online to monitor the flow of
traffic during rush hour. What they are doing is sending out their people to
sit in traffic with a machine so we can watch live footage of the traffic on
that particular freeway. I’m sorry, but I know what traffic looks like, and I don’t
need to watch it online to know what I’m going to be sitting through once I leave
the house. Watching traffic is like equivalent to watching paint dry. I feel sorry for the lady who was assigned the
task of monitoring traffic. She said with so much enthusiasm, “my job is
to sit in traffic from 4am-6am!” WHAT?!!
First of all, who in their right
mind would go online at that early of the morning to check traffic before they
head off to work? Second, is there even rush hour traffic at that time? Third, they
already have live traffic feeds that don’t require someone to sit in traffic. Fourth,
what kind of job is that? Sitting in traffic, PLEASE! Honestly, who in their right
mind would want to sit in traffic because they want to? ....Crazy people. I can
picture it now: “What do you do for a living?” and the person
saying, “Oh I sit in traffic”
Random info: On a bad rush hour traffic day, it could take me 1hr and 30 min to get
home, when it’s normally takes me 25 min when there is no traffic. Yep, an hour and
half to travel 30 miles. It’s ridiculous!
