Unexpressed Thoughts

So, I created this blog and have since been ignoring it. Occasionally I have a random thought that I'd like to put down on (virtual) paper, but it's usually in the middle of my work day, or the middle of the night, and the thought goes unexpressed. Which reminds me of my favorite story about Winston Churchill. Seated next to a verbose woman at a dinner party, he reportedly turned to her and asked, "Madam, have you ever had an unexpressed thought?" I work with a woman like that. She verbalizes EVERY thought she has. It drives me completely insane. "OK, that's finished." "Oh, what did I do with that (insert object name here)?" "I must remember to call that customer back." Who gives a shit? I have stuff of my own to do! And I can't concentrate when I've got some crazy broad talking to herself non-stop, right next to me. Shut the fuck up, already!

Sometimes, an unexpressed thought can be a beautiful thing.

OK. Rant over.
