Beavis and Butthead Moments
Otherwise known as brain farts. I figure I’m already on the subject of obnoxious gas from a dog, why stop there? I’m still at the office (having determined that it was the ideal place for me to blog). I just had a really productive streak. I got tons of work done in the space of an hour. I was relentless. It was cool.
And then it was time to start the next big project. I stared at my computer screen for several seconds. I saw the emailed instructions and the browser with the website in it, but nothing was clicking. Not even my mouse. I was literally sitting there, mouth agape, making that “Uhhhh...” noise when you are at a complete loss. It’s what I like to call a Beavis and Butthead moment. I think I heard one of them in the background, snickering at me. “Shut up Beavis!"
Speaking of which, I don’t know whether to be embarrassed or not, but I actually enjoyed watching those two numbskulls. In college, there was once a Beavis and Butthead marathon on MTV—4 solid hours of quality programming—and I was glued to it like they were announcing lottery numbers. I think my IQ dropped a few points, but damn was it entertaining.
