Ewwww.

I don't know why all my posts are about the subway. Perhaps because lately I've had a pretty boring social life as I've been spending all my time writing at home, going to a show at night, and sleeping. So my exciting activities out in the world are riding on public transportation. A couple nights ago I saw something really, really nasty. Some people may think "sweet, parental gesture," but not me, I almost threw up in my mouth.

A baby is in his stroller sucking on his pacifier. He spits the pacifier out of his mouth and it lands on the floor of the subway station. His dad picks up the pacifier, LICKS it clean with HIS MOUTH and puts it BACK in the BABIES MOUTH!



Yes, I agree.








I don't have any kids, but since when is the human mouth a sanitation device?! Why? Why wouldn't you just put the pacifier away and wash it when you got home? The kid wasn't even crying.

Or how about this? Carry an extra binky with you.

I'm not judging. I'm just disgusted.

Was working at an office last week and was IMing with a friend and telling her how bored I was and jokingly said I was going to live blog my day. She thought this was a spectacular idea. I didn't live blog. But if I did, here's how it would go....

RECEPTION JOB! LIVE BLOGGED!

9:00 AM: Just transferred a call to x214 but no one picked up. Shoot. So, I took the guy off hold and asked him if he wanted to be transferred to voice mail. He said "yeah." So I transferred him to voicemail.




9:30AM: Just transferred a call to x120.

10:15 AM: Phone rang again. I picked it up. It was a hang up.

11:30 AM:
While I was deciding what to get for lunch the phone rang! I transferred call to x216, then decided on pizza.

1:00 PM:
Just left my desk to get coffee from the kitchen!



1:45PM: I just updated my facebook profile.

1:50PM: Transferred call to x101.

3:00PM: Someone just asked me if I knew where to find some scotch tape! There was some on my desk, so I gave it to her!

3:02PM: She returned the scotch tape to my desk.

3:45PM: I feel empty inside.

4:00PM: Just did some light crying in the bathroom.


5:00PM: Heading to the subway station.

5:10: Ewww! Just saw a man lick a pacifier that fell on the floor and stick it back in his babies mouth.

5:11: Swallowing down throw up and walking to other side of platform.
