The ramblings of an insane man (and his other personality). So first off, I work in retail, and I use a computer a lot (his bottlecap glasses tell the tale of too much eye strain) for looking up items, orders, etc. It's the Christmas season (damn straight Christmas! Take your "happy holiday" and shove it!) so of course my job decided to put up a few lights around my computer. Nothing fancy, it's a small string of LED lights USB'd into the computer. They change colors, blue, red, yellow, everything in between. they're actually a really cool set of lights.

What's my problem with them? (besides management put them up to suck dry your wallets? "It's Christmas! spend money! Buy S#!t") When you first plug them in, they all turn on red. It's great! all one color. When I come into work, after they've been on for a long time, they're all different colors! Great too! (pretty colors.. *spacing out drooling*) BUT. When you first turn it on... there's one light at the very beginning that CHANGES FASTER THAN THE OTHERS. Everyone else is red, why the hell are you blue already!? (He has to be special) Now, it sounds silly, but when I'm standing at this computer, trying to work, and there's ONE FREAKING LIGHT that has to stand out I get SO PISSED OFF AT THAT ONE LIGHT!! AAUUGGHH!! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!?!?! WHY CAN'T YOU BE NORMAL?! When all the other lights were created, your parent lights that had you told you "it's okay, the other kids laugh cause they're jealous" and "special is a GOOD thing to be called!" Meanwhile I'm standing at this computer trying to help customers, shaking because I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS ONE LITTLE LIGHTS PROBLEM, I'm shaking so bad I'm vibrating sideways slightly, one eye drifting to the corner of the monitor to try and "evil eye" the LED back to the color it should be while the other tries to concentrate on work and that eye just keeps pulsating further, and FURTHER from the socket and it pops a blood vessel so it's popping out of my head, red and bloodshot and I look like the Mr Hyde to my once serene Jekyll and the customers I'm so diligently trying to help grab their children behind them and back up slowly telling them "it's okay, special's a good thing to be called" all the while I mutter under my breath over and over "Satan created you, you will burn in LED HELL!!!!".... sigh....

On a related note, let me tell you how much it bothers me that when I turn my blinker on at a red light, the blinking yellow light off the car in front of me only ONE OUT OF TEN EVER MATCHES UP TO MY LITTLE GREEN ARROW BLINKING LIGHT WHY DON'T THEY BLINK AT THE SAME RHYTHM?!?!? *vibrating in computer chair*

Peace all!
