Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

It Makes Me Nauseous

There’s a industrial strength pencil sharpener over the wall in the next cubicle.

When the draftsman, er… draftswoman uses it, the display on my monitor goes all wonky. A warped, vibrating display. Makes me queasy.

If the sharpening noises would just start a split second earlier, I could learn to look away for those 5 seconds.

Just an annoying office observation.

    I hate when things make the monitors go all jiggy.

    At my office when the A/C kicks on mine gets jiggy for a few seconds. It’s annoying.

    The jiggyness started on my monitor years ago, right after that Pink Floyd concert.

    Dear JohnJohn, here’s the latest dirty trick – office pencil sharpeners.

    Do not adjust your monitor – we have assumed control.
    We control the veritcal,
    We control the horizontal
    We control the media –
    Mwahahah.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
