(1) Worked on the English 3 class assignment for Monday, where students will write their own Native American origin myth assignment. I'm interested in seeing what kind of creative writing pops up from the project. Hopefully it includes proper use of grammar and correct spelling.
(2) I am now a proud member of the "Alan Trammell and Lou Whittaker Appreciation Society" on Facebook, a page dedicated to lobby for the deserved recognition of the greatest Major League Baseball double play tandem in history, a pair that have basically been ignored by the Baseball Writers Association of America and by the Detroit Tigers ownership/management. THE TWO BELONG IN THE HALL OF FAME, DAMNIT!
(3) Came across this amazing column on The Huffington Post today called "Maybe You Get Bad Customer Service Because You're a Bad Customer" - a commentary that hit the nail squarely on the head in terms of customer rudeness that can be summed up nicely with this excerpt:
[The irate customer] asked: "Why can't I ever f*cking get good customer service?" Well, ma'am, that might have something to do with you being a vulgar, miserable, malicious person. Maybe you get bad customer service because you're a bad customer. Did you ever consider that possibility?(4) Check out the slideshow at the end of the above column when you have a chance - some amazing responses to horrible customer service ... because while some customers are bad customers, some businesses are even worse at customer service!
(5) Six days until Central Michigan's football team takes on the mighty Michigan Wolverines. I hope the Chippewas keep it respectable ... oh, hell, I HOPE THEY BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THE WOLVERINES! (But hey, at least Sports Illustrated has them projected not to have a losing record this year, and to finish above Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan in the battle of Michigan directional schools ...)

Stupid News of the Day
From USA Today: "Why does Rex Ryan still have a job?" - When the Jets needed a proven quarterback guru to develop Sanchez, Ryan traded for Tebow, the NFL's traveling circus, to mess with Sanchez's head, and brought in Sparano, the wildcat wonder, as the offensive coordinator. Sparano did the impossible: He made both quarterbacks worse.
Florida News of the Day
From The Orlando Sentinel: "'Trio accused of using technology to deal their stolen goodies" - Florida, home of the most stupid people in the world.
