Random Bits for Monday

My brain is addled, so I'm going with random bits today. I had planned on doing something more cohesive and interesting (of course that would require a topic, which I didn't have, but that's just a detail) and then I spent 50 minutes on hold. 50 minutes. Their ridiculous wait estimator said 10. I will wait for 10 minutes. 50 is just out of line, but after 10, I figured "any minute now" - then it got to be 30, at which point I was so steamed I was going to wait just to see how long they'd let it go. I was nice to the lady, I know it wasn't her fault, but I suggested that they might want to have their estimator looked at since it was off by a factor of FIVE. Then to fix the problem? Yeah, it took less than 2 minutes.

Jen posted a link to this and I found it fascinating. I may have to undertake some nap experimentation now, because I seriously have trouble napping. Maybe the problem is that I nap too long and at the wrong time of day. I'm all for finding out! Cause I could go for a nap most days, if it meant I wouldn't feel drugged and groggy for the rest of the day. And grouchy. Did I mention grouchy? Yeah - most of the time I don't nap out of kindness to others.

Anyone else watching The Next Food Network Star? I'm enjoying it thus far. If I had to pick today whose show I would watch, I'd go with one of these: Aaron, Kelsey, or Jennifer. I'm not sure which of the three I'd prefer though. I want to like Lisa, but I can't get over her haircut. I just look at her and think of this:
