Dear, Marilyn
I watched a movie, today called "The Chorus". During the previews, I was reminded of you. The preview was for a movie called "Dear, Frankie"! It's about a boy who receives letters from his supposed sailor father (who he's never met) every month. It turns out, the boys mother had been writing the letters all along and out of desperation hired Gerard Butler to pretend to be the boys father.
That's all. Goodnight, Marilyn.

Dear, Marilyn
So I went to a meeting that lasted about 15-20 minutes, mostly executives and a few managers. The entire time I'm in the meeting making a conscious effort to look like I'm not sitting in my chair, completely judging every other person in the room (well, not EVERY other person, but mostly everyone), is that wrong of me? The meeting was about: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I'm dead serious, there was nothing that came out of that meeting. At one point, a senior executive was informing the group about a database that had nothing to do with the group in the room, someone should have stopped her and informed her it was the wrong forum for that discussion. As she regurgitated words in a half witted attempt at explaining, she used words like "centralize" and "essentially" in the wrong context. I know one of the other executives caught on to it, I figured he might, but he is a huge bitch, totally afraid of her so he wouldn't dare say anything. The rest of them are all pretty dense and are fooled by her trickery. Using "big words" like 'centralize' and 'essentially' works on them.
I headed straight to another meeting. As I walked down the hall, I paid special attention to the names and titles on the doors of all the other offices and thought to myself, "WOW! I work with a bunch of fu**ing idiots." This meeting lasted about 10 minutes. You want to know what it was about? Yeah, you guessed it: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I can't even remember a single word from that meeting. It was such a waste of time. I think I lost brain cells just sitting there. In order to make use of the 10 minute waste of time, I worked on my signature - that way at least I did something productive. The others probably thought I was taking notes but I was really just scribbling my name over and over, experimenting with the look of my signature.

Happy Birthday, Marilyn, You're a Gemini
Dear, Journal
I've just decided at this very moment that I'm going to start a journal, I need to in order to hold on to my sanity. As I'm sitting in my office writing this entry, I'm looking to my "inspiration wall" for a name to call this here journal. An image of Marilyn Monroe which I tacked up, popped out more than any other. It's a sign, I'm calling you Marilyn. Happy Birthday, Marilyn, you're a Gemini.
