Today's Random Work Event

Upon seeing Drew Barrymore up close and personal, I can now say two things:

A) She's shorter than she looks on screen. Except in ET and Firestarter, where she was much shorter.

B) I think I could kick her ass.

I think B) a lot when I see people. I must have some pent up anger issues or such. I thought the same thing when Bill Gates passed by. But that was really motivated by my desire to snag the $100000 worth of spare change he probably had sitting in his pocket for emergency use.

Okay, granted, I didn't think B) when I met Colin Powell. The man's tough. I won't dog the main man Powell.

Yeah, instinctive sizing up of people does happen a lot. I do it at work all the time. Security guards, dignitaries, whatever. Just force of habit.

Once the President of Azerbaijan was visiting, and his motorcade pulled up, and all these heavily armed guys jumped out and took up stations around the area. The Deputy Head of our office and I are watching this- he's from Ukraine- and he says something in Russian and then tells me "These are Russian special forces. Spetznatz. I do not think even you could challenge them."

Once in a while, he frightens me. I know he's KGB. No doubt about it.
