I want to dedicate my first post on this blog to the Occupy Protesters. These guys and gals have been hanging out on the corner of the building where i work for a few weeks now. They are nice, and polite to passers by, even though in the evening on the way home, they make it hard to pass.
I don’t know what they are upset about, but they seem to be holding firm in numbers. Today they got a better drummer. Sometimes the drumming and chanting is loud enough that I can hear it in my cube on the 19th floor.
I have joined in making sport of them, and have been reading about their issues and methods with interest. Some of us in the office even made fake protest signs with slogans like “Soylent Green is People”… Not that funny.
