JevInstincts
"We all share the air." Isn't that
beautiful? I thought so too. That was the slogan for this year's
clean air day where I live. It was another one of those wonderful
initiatives where people for one day try and use public transportation
(see my rant from June of '98). Any more
than one day would be a little too extreme, but people will at least
give it a try - once, just so long as there's a good pool of prizes to
be won.
Once again this year
I was asked to coordinate my corner of the company. As part of my
“kit” (apparently the caboodle was extra) I got a couple of sign up sheets
and a wonderful poster. A poster that featured the above mentioned
slogan. Now, for whatever reason a number of my colleagues found
it very funny that I was part of a clean air initiative. One person
thought that I was doing some sort of community service. Another
just laughed and thought it was rather ironic that I of all people was
promoting clean air.
These comments were
very puzzling as I always thought I was being subtle when I enjoyed my
little moments of indiscretion. Apparently not. Maybe it was
a form of penance after all. I still have the poster up in my office,
and people still walk over and have a good chuckle.
