I'm back! I hope you all had a merry Christmas, people, even if things didn't go exactly the way you wanted them to. P.S.--here's a little bit of Merry Christmas irony for you: My family forgot to record the Human Target Christmas episode! Yeah, I know; kind of hard to believe, isn't it? It kind of didn't sink in for me until I went to watch it the next day...and it wasn't there! Horrors!
Anyway, I just watched it now on the internet; man, that thing is cool. And that's why I can't write the extra-long, super-cool, conspiracy-heavy post I was planning on writing today. Aw, I know. Boo-hoo. But, on the bright side, here's my ponderings on: EMBARRASSING COMPANY NAMES!
Do you work at a company with an embarrassing name? Do you know someone who does? I know that the economy is tough and many people have to work wherever they can get hired, but c'mon, employers. When you come up with the names of your companies, do you do this just to embarrass us and make us hate ourselves? And you workers. Could you honestly say you worked at "Zippy Heating and Air Conditioning Co." without a) laughing whenever you say it or b) wanting to punch yourself? Repeatedly? In the face?
And can working at a place like that actually damage you? I mean, if you work at Hot Topic, people are automatically afraid of you. And if you work at a gym or karate-dojo place or whatever, people either want to see you chop a brick in half with your bare hands or think you're going to snap their neck for looking at you wrong. But does that actually affect you over time? Does being constantly looked at like you're going to hurt someone every five seconds give you a quicker temper, or make you quicker to fight? And does working at Zippy, with a freaking polar bear painted on your truck wearing winter apparel make you a quieter, milder person?
Hmm. Something to think about.
