Being Lazy

Time: 8:00pm
Mood: Disgusted (Jimmy's chopping a chicken right now)
Song of the moment: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow Hey Oh

Jimmy's been looking up receipes for dinner, and he had decided to buy a whole chicken for our next meal. He has no idea how to chop a chicken. Funny enough, I have some idea, but I'm afraid of sharp objects so that keeps me away from using a cleaver. So if you can picture it, Jimmy's holding the cleaver, I'm yelling instructions out to him. It's like we're already married! LoL!

So Jimmy and I were having a discussion the other day about how our laziness drives us to be innovative. This conversation started when I asked Jimmy what his usual routine was when he got into the office. He usually gets in half an hour before the office opens, and what he does is he goes to each classroom and checks the network connetions to make sure they work. He told me he wrote a program that allows him to check the network connetions without having to go to each classroom. I thought that was smart of him, but he said he did it because he's lazy. I think a lot of modern-day innovations are driven into creation because we, as humans, are lazy by nature. I guess you can argue that they make our lives more efficient and that we can do more with all the time we save by using things like cars, electric stoves and cellphones. But regardless of the amount of time it saves, who wants to walk to the grocery store and have to carry all those groceries back home? Who wants to build a fire in order to boil water? Who wants to run across town to talk to a friend?

I don't. Because I'm lazy :)
