Thanks, Grady Sizemore. Thanks, Chesley Sullenberger. And God bless you, Steven Colbert. It's people like you that are the true heroes of this country, the lunch-packing men that provide the finest example of just doing your damn job. If only the drive-thru jerk followed your example, so that instead of repeatedly getting no sauce when I clearly asked for extra sauce, I would, you know...get extra sauce. Rocket science, minus the rocket, the science, and your ability to perform the most basic things well.
Sometimes I daydream of a world where Chesley Sullenberger is just a guy doing his job. I would lay money he sees it that way. He did the bare minimum. The absolute least you can do if you're a professional airline pilot: deliver all your passengers safely...wherever they may be deposited. Annoyed and inconvenienced, but alive and thrashing about.
Way to do your job, Sully. You can cash your paycheck secure in the knowledge that you better be able to earn it again next week in the same manner. You Sir, are alright.
Too bad you're the exception instead of the rule.
Too bad the majority of America is busy trying to figure out if Britney is fatter than Jessica and which one is stupider than the other.
According to the Internets, there are nutjobs out there who don't understand that Steven Colbert is joking when he says they are great.
Well played, Sir. There can hardly be any higher praise than when you do your job so well that others don't even know you're doing it. If there were a survey of my opinion of how you do your job, I'd think about checking 'Somewhat agree' instead of 'No opinion'.
Oh, there you are survey...
You are, indeed, welcome. Keep up the serviceable work.
On a total other note, Sign Number 5 that the Apocalypse is upon us:
Jhonny Peralta got an RBI base hit with two outs in an actual professional baseball game. Major league, even.
The Son of Satan or something similarly evil was surely born this day...mark it well.
In the same game, the Sixth S.O.T.A. appeared through the haze...
Freakin' weird, Yo.
