scattered

I'm at work today with nothing to do (shh..don't tell) and I have these random thoughts clanking around in my head. My remedy to be rid of them is to share.

I have been typing a ton of records for MT training lately, and I have found one condition that I would not like to have--acute urinary retention caused by bladder outlet obstruction.

Whenever I drink or look at milk, I usually think,"Milk. Not heterogeneous, not homogeneous, but a colloid. You can tell it's a colloid by scattered light shining indirectly through the glass." I can see the 8th grade textbook page where I learned that and the picture going along with it. Also element number 91 is protactinium. And then when I think about that I think about Mr. Gerber, my eighth grade science teacher where I learned these things, and then I think about how Mr. Gerber saved a kid from choking on a lemon head. I then learned that giving the Heimlich maneuver can save a life, but it also makes you puke.

Every time I refill Tator Tot's fishbowl it makes me gag because a ton of poop I pretend is not there starts floating around. But when all the poop has settled in the rocks I forget he's a dirty fish and instead watch entranced as he swims side to side vertically like he's standing up and swallows bubbles.

Sometimes when I'm zoning out at work I open the CD drive of my eMac with my fingernail and look at the two round speakers on each side and pretend that my computer has two eyes and a mouth and it's talking. It usually says something funny--something a muppet would say. Well, it actually doesn't say words it just makes sounds, so I guess it's one of those muppets that are big and don't say words.
