Everything in perspective.

I was thinking I wasn't having the greatest day today. Then I saw this.



Thank you to failblog.org for always putting life in perspective for me. (And yes, I'm sure it's OLD and you've all seen it before. Too bad! It still makes me feel better.)

But why aren't you having a good day? Is this work related? A physical ailment, perhaps? Be careful when you drive home tonight.

Damn, sorry to hear that you are having a bad day. That video was funny at the least but at the same time that sucks for the officer haha.

Everybody is entitled to having a bad day. But the video leaves alot of questions as to what was going through the drivers mind. Oh well, idiocy doesn't need any explaining.

Jeff, if you want a police-related video to really cheer you up, I suggest the following:

If you haven't seen this one, you're in for a real treat. All I can say is "step, bump, step, bump bump." Enjoy!

Here's a better youtube link:

(And, yes, there is debate as to whether this is real, fake, or from 'Reno 911!')

My nose hurts from having to stifle what would have been a hearty, near-hysterical laugh to a very painful, obnoxious, snore-ish snicker here at the office. I hate being professional. Wait, watching youTube at work isn't professional...?

I see where Reno 911 got its material from

hope you day gets better… try listening to happy music?

or visualization meditation? you shoulda learnt that at yoga class :D

how about a joke,
An elderly man was driving his Buick down the freeway when his cell phone rang.

Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!"

"It's not just one car," said Herman. "It's hundreds of them!"

Or how about this one:

A guy's on the train, heading into London.

The train comes to a stop at a station and the guy says to the two old ladies seated in front of him:

"Excuse me, but is this Wimbeldon?"

One of the old ladies immediately says: "No, it's Thursday."

And the other old lady says: "So am I. Let's go for a drink."

Whoa, Green wrote on his ticker feed thing that he got moved over to a different team at E.A.

Which team?

It sounds kind of ominous. In five months he's been on 3 different teams. Why doesn't anybody want him?

Jeff, you can always go back to writing, you know - I mean, writing really is your chief strength. This game design thing is interesting. But personally I feel that your talents are kind of being wasted there at EA.

You're a writer. That's what you are.

Bad day? Check out this video

Also kind of related to your previous blog about good music, too.

Pretty sure this video isn't just old...it's been around as long as Mr. Green. LMAO...rofl rofl...

Jeffrey, I'm concerned I haven't seen the "what you ate last night for dinner" section updated regularly enough. Either you have left over Thai food every day (which is just sad), or you're just too lazy to fill me on what's for dinner- again, sad.

And Groose, let's keep the lame jokes contained WITHIN Jeff Green's blog. K, thanks.

Yo yo yo! "The Brothers Karamazov"? That's deep. Hmm, thinking about the stress of your new, or newer position, would you ever read any business self-help books like "Communication Catalyst" or "The Tragedy in the Workplace"? I don't want to see you run off to Yugoslavia air guitaring Re-Education Through Labor. Hang in there man. (sings) We JUST survive, Ooh-on the crubs that you throwwwwww a-wayyyyy!

I thought that was going to be a lot worse. But I should have known you wouldn't post a video on your blog showing someone getting shot or hit by a car.

I realize that your bad day happened last week, Jeff - but now I'm the one who's having a bad day. (Note that it's presently 7:30 p.m. on a Monday evening, and that I'm still at work - i.e. I arrived here Friday morning and haven't left yet).

See, this is the reason I didn't start up a blog of my own.

Like a fool, I probably would've blogged about my 'work related difficulties' - to vent my frustrations - and I probably would've been fired as the result.

Seriously.

(I tend to piss off a lot people when I write, although I've no idea exactly why?)

I swear to god, in the past twelve months I don't think there's been a week that's gone by during which I haven't considered 'moving on'. Quitting, would be a better way of putting it.

Unfortunately my options are limited. If I'm not doing the job I'm presently doing, then I'm bagging groceries at the local Supermarket, or I'm shooting at members of the Taliban in Afghanistan (or worse, being shot at).

Jeff, in you Twitter feed from last week, you mentioned something about wandering, dazed and confused, around the offices at EA, pushing a cart, with all your stuff in it, like a bag-lady, and searching for a desk and a team that was prepared to take you in - care to elaborate on that?

I love reading about how miserable other people are.

It makes me feel better. :)

Here's a joke that's going around.

How many fan-boy gamers does it take to change a lightbulb?

Answer: Ten.

One to screw the new bulb in, and nine to stand there arguing that the previous one was better.

Remember when Jeff Green used to blog?

Yeah, those were good times...

If blogs were meals, it appears Jeff has succumbed to binge-snacking on Twitter.

Sing along with the "Bad day" to cheer you up. Then watch the video. Surely it would lighten up your mood. XD
