principle seething

i've just spent an hour sorting through trash to remove all the electronics (most in useable condition) that our intelligent, educated good citizens tossed because they couldn't care less.

and i was told that instead of getting angry, i should have done something productive like make and send a powerpoint presentation. because that would help.

the rest of my working day was spent scrubbing walls. i think the only good thing that happened was my team leader asking me to buy him a duck as well :)
i swear, no matter how bad things get those ducks can always make you smile.
