Trying to make a movie

Lesson Learned: A 2x4 piece of wood is a mysterious and magical object that no one in the safety office has ever heard of before. To use one they need to see it before they can authorize it's use. Also they are never there to sign off on it making it impossible to use one.
Quote of the Day: "That's how birds do it. Since they are outside all the time when they get in a fight they go 'Let's take this inside!'"- Chris Kurose

First Post

The idea started Friday when I learned a lesson.
3/11/11
Lesson Learned: When a fire alarm goes off in the Miracle Mile, no one cares.

The next day I learned another lesson and decided to keep a daily journal of all the lessons I learn. They say each day you learn something new so I am going to keep a record of them.
3/12/11
Lesson Learned: The toilets in LAX are geysers.

Today I decided to expand it to daily quotes as well.
3/14/11
Lesson Learned: Hipsters smoke American Spirits because they help give the illusion that you aren't addicted because they are "natural".
Daily Quote: She (Katy Perry) sounds like she is deep-throating everything all the time.
