Random Thoughts

I actually had two random thoughts today. I can't remember the last time my brain actually functioned.

In fact, I used to have daily random thoughts which would translate into... "Oh, I'll blog that."

I used to have an active blog. Now, it seems I'm lucky if I remember I have a blog.

But today, TWO thoughts. Woot.

Random thought #1:

I was driving to work this morning and saw a truck with tire manufacturer names on it.

You know, Kauffman, Goodyear, Atlas. But one company name stood out. Kumho.

Kumho.

A company dealing in rubbers (aka tires) named Kumho. WTF were they thinking?

Imagine answering the phone.
"Kumho."
"Hello, Kumho. How can I help you?"
"Welcome to Kumho. Where service is a pleasure."

le sigh. There's just no good spin to put on that name.


Random thought #2.

My boss sent me an e-mail telling me that I am the "gatekeeper" for information regarding an event our company is participating in.

Great. Just great. A gatekeeper.

My first thought was that I'm the gatekeeper in a company of fence jumpers.

I so wanted to reply that thought, but after 7 years of working for him, I'm still not sure if he has a sense of humor.
