I just saw someone in the lunch room spooning salsa into Scoops chips. For those of you who don’t know (and shame on you), Scoops chips have the largest crater of any dipping chip. You could use it to empty out the salsa container in a few swipes of the wrist. And here s/he was, using a spoon to fill the chip. I don’t understand.

I read this online article from Esquire magazine, and I found it so amusing that I thought I’d share it. I don’t often chuckle outloud when I read articles online (I’d have to explain it to the other two students I share my office with), but I couldn’t help myself. The author, A.J. Jacobs, addresses the topic of outsourcing and discovers that even individuals can outsource work and menial tasks to people in other countries. I don’t want to give it away, but the outsourcing becomes a new source of stress in his life and thus might not be as wonderful as it sounds.

Maybe I could outsource the Christmas cards this year. We haven’t even ordered them yet, nothing like the last minute!!
