sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Do humans just honestly not see some things, or are we so accustomed to ignoring certain things that the mind sees them and then dismisses immediately what it saw no matter how important or pertinant to our situation?
There are signs everywhere, advertisements, warnings, info. And it may be that we just are so used to them that many people really don't even acknowledge them anymore.
Unfortunately, that is one of my pet peeves.
I'm sure that most of you know that I am still stuck running two stores. And since I cannot be physically in two places at once I have to use signs to let people that come a direction I can't see knpw how to get me. So I have a sign, it used to be on the locked door, telling people to come next door if they need service and get me. And still there were people who assumed that the place was closed since the door didn't open and would leave. Now, since I have to prop the door open or it gets too hot in there I have placed the sign right next to the door, where it's impossible to miss. And yet I still get the odd person who goes in and waits and waits and waits.
And don't even get me started on the reserved parking space and its sign.
Makes you wonder if anybody would actually notice if all the signs just up and disappeared one day. I mean it's gotten to the point where customers ask me about the hours on a particular day when the sign is clearly posted that list the hours.
sigh...
In other news, I watched that FUD movie last night, bird flu in america. And I'll refrain from all the jokes about it being another disease movie. And I'll ignore the cut and paste dialog.
NO I'll go straight to the heart of the matter. What's the government hiding that they are hyping up this bird flu so much? Really, worldwide there have been slightly more than 100 deaths since this strain appeared. And while, yes, it's deadly to birds, even if it does mutate to a form transmissible by humans (which is possible, but you think we'd have seen it by now)how do we know that the mutation wouldn't knock the teeth right out of the virus.
Honestly. There is a lot of FUD, and the government allowed ABC (if they didn't encourage it) to spread the fud even more. The bird flu seemed to be the basis of all of their programming last night, I even saw that it was going to be on nightline. Even the way that it ended was intended to scare people. All in all the movie and the night of FUD programming only reaffirms my personal belief that ABC is staffed with ambulance chasers.
Ok, enough for now. Bye all.
