Oh, Dreadful Clock Alarm

Yuk! Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk!

I have to go to a training class today that starts at 8:30 in the AM. As a night owl, I haven't had to use that ugly piece of machinery they call an alarm clock in a couple of years. Too bad I remembered how. Now I know why I hated that thing so much.

Anyway, after waking up, and of course strapping on the I.V. that was injecting caffeine, I started reading the news. A man by the name of Aaron Broussard, a President of one of the parishes in Louisiana was quoted on CBS' Early Show. It was a damn good quote:

"Take whatever idiot they have at the top of whatever agency and give me a better idiot. Give me a caring idiot. Give me a sensitive idiot. Just don't give me the same idiot."

Now I like that one. Problem is, he was mainly complaining about the bureaucracy - and that in itself dictates that it is extremely difficult to identify the "idiot."

Why is it so much easier to wake up early when I'm going to play golf instead of sit in an eight hour training class?
