Once again, I must point out that far too many people posses driver's licenses. The vast majority of this group fail to understand that other people use the same roads that these "Obliviouts" treat as their own. You've seen them, whether you realized it or not. Although I must point out that if you have not noticed, then chances are likely that you are an "obliviout" yourself, and should immediately seek help from the nearest sane person you can find. How can you find a sane person, you might be asking yourself. If you are asking yourself this question, then you do not need to solicit the services of a sane individual, since by asking yourself this very question you are indeed aware of problems you may cause while commanding a motor vehicle and are therefore not by definition, an obliviout. I digress, sane people can be identified by their use of turn signals and courteous driving. Allowing others to merge, being aware of people trying to pass you, and not driving too slow in the left hand lane are all examples of prudent, sane drivers. If you exhibit any or all of these qualities then you can consider yourself to be among the educated, and not a blithering "in-duh-vidual" that seem all too common these days. Obliviouts, on the other hand, can also be spotted as they flick lit cigarette butts out the window of their car. Oblivious that others might be around them and would not wish to have a burning cigarette deposited on or in their vehicle, these morons press on with their important cell phone conversations often while changing lanes without signaling. (that would be too much to ask, now wouldn't it?)
Ok, rant over. It's been a while since I've posted... not that the likes of most of you are beating down the doors to post anyway. I just took the GMAT last Friday, and with only six to eight hours of studying I earned a 640. Ironically, I studied the quantitative (that's math, for you in-duh-viduals out there) section almost exclusively, and scored only in the 55th percentile of all GMAT takers world wide, my verbal score, however, placed me in the 91st percentile. (How about that, a literate Arkansan!) My high verbal score brought my total socre into the 80th percentile, so yes, I have an inflated ego at the moment... it'll wear off soon enough... probably when I get my essay scores. I would have scored much higher on the math, but use of a calculator is strictly verboten. I haven't endured a math class in over two and a half years. I need some math classes... The only question now, is have I waited too late to register for graduate classes?
Finally, I must sing Apple's praises once again. As one of you may be aware, my iBook's hard drive took the honorable way out just about a week or so ago. I tried to reinstall Tiger, but I was thwarted at every turn. I called Applecare and two days later they delivered a box, and I dropped the laptop in the mail. Two days from leaving the box with DHL, I dropped by the FedEx shipping center and picked up my laptop complete with a brand new hard drive... all at no cost to me. Apple certainly knows how to treat their customers.
What's the latest on our party? I'm going to be in town this weekend, so somebody better get something planned, or I'm just going to invite myself to Manteca's pool. Don't shoot, it's just me!
