T'was a quiet day today.

This Elizabeth Smart thing is very suspicious. I mean think about it - what else happens to women that takes 9 months? Our conspiracy theory group reckons someone got her pregnant and daddy sent her away with this weirdo......I mean it was incredibly convenient that on the day Ed Smart had a go at the police because they weren't taking this lead seriously, the guy turns up with his daughter. Turns out they'd camped out behind the Smart house for the first three weeks. During the search, one guy came forward to say he thought he'd seen them back there, and was very quickly hushed up by the family. The police were back there too - were they paid not to find her? Don't get me wrong - I'm glad she's alive. But there's something very unsettling about the dad. It's also very unsettling that there's never been another case of a girl going missing and turning up alive 9 months later. Not one. This is the first time the child has been returned instead of turning up dead. It's all very odd.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
