President Hinckley passed away today

Sad news: President Hinckley just passed away. It's hard to get any info since all the news sites are crashing.

Here, I finally managed to get a link to an article.

Here today, gone tomorrow - Heath Ledger DEAD!

This just in: Heath either overdosed or committed suicide. Info is sketchy right now.

I've offered to step in to complete Batman, but I'm still waiting to hear from my agent.

Lanyard To The Rescue

I work in an office setting and security requires us to have our badges visible. I wear mine on a lanyard (cord/rope worn around the neck). The guys at work make fun of me and say it looks fruity.

They would prefer me to wear my badge on my belt loop like this. I guess they think it is more manly or something.

Despite the heckling, I just can't wear my badge on my belt. There are several reasons, but the principle reason is because I want anonymity while doing my business in the bathroom. All too often this is the type of scene I find when I enter the bathroom.

At first glance it might just look like a couple of people going to the bathroom, but a more careful examination of the scene reveals the identity of the individual on the toilet. I hate walking into the bathroom to find someone stinking up the room. But it's 10 times worse when I know who is doing it. Do I really want people to know that I am the culprit? No! I know some of the other guys tuck the badge into their pants so no one can see, but I don't even want to worry about that. Actually, I am not an ankle dropper, so I probably don't need to worry, but I want to be 100% sure that this would never happen. Am I really that crazy for wearing a lanyard?
