People seeing signs everywhere.

Ok people - this has got to stop. Jesus' face isn't in a cheese sandwich. It's not in a mossy hole in an underpass, and it's certainly not in some woman's womb (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005250380,00.html.
Not being the religious type, I have trouble understanding why so many normally intelligent people get taken with these "sightings" of Jesus all over the place. The famous grilled cheese sandwich didn't look like Jesus - it looked like a burned grilled cheese sandwich. The mossy hole in the underpass looked like - well like a mossy hole. And this woman's ultrasound photo looks like an ultrasound photo.
Why do these people go out of their way to try to see things where they aren't? Let's not forget, people, that the Bible is a work of fiction, written 2000 years ago, and variously translated and re-written over the last 2 millenia. If you religious types want something to ask questions about, don't go claiming Jesus face is in the rocks outside your house. Use your time usefully to ask why there's not one mention of the bloke between his 13th and 30th birthday. I mean if he was a messiah, don't you think the story-tellers would have had a little more interest in him? If the guy was so important, missing 18 years of his life story is a bit of an oversight.

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
