Know what I hate? Boredom. No, not being bored. But people who are easily bored, now that just baffles me. Actually, the concept of boredom is completely foreign to me. I can’t remember the last time I was bored. There are too many ways to avoid it. An infinite number of ways. This video doesn’t even scratch the surface, but …
I HATE BEING LATE!!!
It’s this week’s installment of I Hate Monday, and it is the latest ever. I have been trying to get this right since JANUARY 1st! Pathetic! I was beginning to wonder if I would get this done this year at all. Well, today I finally decided I wasn’t going to let this project go another day no matter how long …
I HATE HATRED
It was bound to happen. You can’t write about things that are preeminently loathsome for long without turning your sights on hatred itself. Hatred is nothing new. It’s as old as mankind. What seems to distinguish our era is something worse than even generic hatred, such as hatred of blacks, whites, Americans, Jews, Mexicans, et cetera. Those are nothing new. …
I HATE MONDAY
I know, it’s Tuesday. Feel free to initiate litigation. Here’s the hate for today: the news. I hate the news. This is painful to write, since I am something of a newsaholic. However, the news has become more and more about partisan analysis and opinion and less and less about the news itself. Let’s take a teaspoon of known fact …
I Hate Monday
It is said to be a universal truth that everybody lies. I once sat in the audience when a speaker asked rhetorically, “Is there anyone sitting in this room who has never told a lie?” A young girl raised her hand. Without thinking, the speaker said, “See? There’s one right there.” The girl ran from the room crying, but that’s …
I Hate Monday
I’m just going to come out and say it. This may not be politically correct, but I don’t care. Well, here goes: I hate flies. There. I said it. And I’m not sorry.
Unlike this
My wife and I were dining in a fine restaurant in Atlanta Saturday night. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, the service was impeccable. The place – called Pappadeaux – was packed with happy groups of people; this is a fun place, no question about it. But my wife called my attention to something I thought was bizarre …
I HATE MONDAY
This one was certainly a slam dunk. Today is the least favorite day of the year for a few hundred million people. Exceptions include people who: • like red tape • love filling out complicated forms • dislike keeping the money they’ve earned If you’re one of those people, please enjoy this special day!
I Hate Monday
What do I hate today? Waiting. Even if I have something good to read (which is always), it’s still not cool to be asked to be on time for an appointment (at a doctor’s office, for example), and in fact, arrive slightly early, only to wait. And wait. And then wait some more. (Personally, I leave after exactly one hour. …
It’s like April Fool’s every day!
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the major advertisers in Augusta’s healthcare market for their support of the Medical Examiner. These are organizations – University Health System, GRU-slash-MCG, Doctors Hospital, Trinity Hospital and others – with HUGE advertising budgets. They’re in the Chronicle almost daily, in Augusta Magazine and Columbia County Magazine, in the Metro Spirit, Augusta Family, …
