Optional?

I take trax to and from work. (obviously, because if I go to work on trax, I must come home also.) Which in and of itself can be an adventure. But my company pays for trax and not for gas. So, free public transit it is!

The other day I was sitting there and I was reading their, "Thank you for..." sign. The very first one says "Shoes and shirt required." I didn't think much about it until I read it for a second time. (I obvioulsy need to find something more constructive to do while I am sitting on the train for 30 min everyday.) That is when I realized, pants are optional! So, what if I just got onto the train without any pants on...what would they do? I thought this was hilarious. could you imagine if people just got on the train in their skimpies? I seem to recall a New York city flash mob involving this once...

Any who. If you ever have the urge to wear just your underware on traxs they really can't do anything to you. They are just asking for it.

I hope you all have a good day. :)

SWCA, this is Helen...

This is how I answer the phone fifty billion times everyday. Do you want to know what I have noticed. People are hard to understand on the phone. When I ask them what their name is, it is like they purposely bring the phone closer to their mouths so that it is all mumbled and I can't hear a thing that they are saying. It makes things rather difficult...

Mmmm...the things we compost...

And here we have the green box

 so, I walked into the break room my first week. (I have been meaning to blog about this for a while...) And I am eating my lunch, all alone, no big deal. When I look over to the recycling bins. (Okay, I work at an envorionmental consulting firm. Of course they are going to have recycling bins...) and I notice a green bin...then I read the sign above the green bin. it says. "SWCA is composting!!" Followed by a list of things that can be put in the compost box. WHAT THE! I have never worked in a place where there was intentional decay of waste products going on. What are we going to do with the compost when we are done? I hope that someone has a garden. As weird as this was to me. I have come to the conclusion that is is awesome! I love the fact that I work with a bunch of environmentalist who like to be kind to our earth. I think that it is even rubbing off on me! :)
