Happy New Year

I guess the excitement from last week died down. Nobody was fired, but some people are skating on thin ice. That diappointed one coworker who was beaming for a day thinking someone was going to be fired. Another coworker and I were relieved. The thin ice coworker does not require a babysitter like the dingbat coworker who was smiling. At least that is settled.
I still have no plans for New Year's Eve so I probably will relax in front of the TV and play on my computer. I picked another book publisher to send my fairytale to. I have to get it ready to print, then shop tomorrow for the right envelopes. I have to wait 3 months or more for an answer. Give me time to type more on book 2. I also need to clean my apartment. Not looking forward too dirt and dust choking me up with sealed windows.
The weather warmed up this week. Some days one does not need a coat. Then a coworker was told about the monsterous earthquake causing the big waves jolted the earth off its axis. Now he is a dooms day prophet saying the euqator will not longer be the center and the rain forests will die. And the poles will melt. And we will stop orbiting the sun. And there will be another ice age and the end of the world. We told him that he smokes too much pot, or needs to smoke some to clear his head of the end of the world.
Then he asked me, history major genius, if something like this had happen before. Well, space exploration has only occurred since the 60's so I don't know. Going outside the atmosphere, we learned many ideas were wrong. The earth is not a perfect sphere, the axis is diagonal, the orbit around the sun is not a perfect oval, and magnetic poles along with star positions do change over a matter of hundreds of years. But has an earthquake shook the earth enough to shift the earth's axis before, fuck if I know. Sorry, I am not a scientist, even if people think I'm a genius. Well post later. Have a Happy New Year.
