Contentedness is a strange thing, a relative and strange thing. It can dissolve stress, alter personalities, promote world peace...you get the idea. It's easy to let one bad thing overshadow many great things, but the inverse is also possible, albeit more difficult. Sometimes a couple of good things can go a long way, even if they're seemingly insignificant. OK, this little "moment of introspection" is now over.

Building on a previous entry, today featured some more valuable training at work that will help prevent me from running red lights, driving while intoxicated and intentionally endangering myself and others. I haven't even broached sexual harrassment training, but I know its coming soon enough. I could hear a video in the other room with such award-winning lines as "Hey Jane, how about we hang out after work" and "Hey Jane, you're looking good in that green dress".

To sum up today's lessons:

"Hijackers and their accomplices sometimes lie in the road as a ploy to attack unsuspecting motorists. Be wary of stopping in these situations."

Maybe sometimes the hijacker is meant to get you. It might be the only way.
