Ok. So, I kinda failed at first day of yoga marathon yesterday, but my hubbie and I had to celebrate my vacation, which kind sort of involved some bubble tea, Lone Star, and wandering around the market. No regrets, as I know I'm gonna get my butt kicked at Rama tonight at Hatha with "K".
On to one of my biggest pet peeves of the last few years: And I must say it's definitely in a suite of pet peeves under the general theme of "human impatience". Now, it's kind of fitting that I'm annoyed by impatience, since I am a very impatient person, myself. But, this is a behaviour that I only ever do accidentally or in the gravest of emergencies: It drives me bananas when people stop an elevator that is ready to go up, by either pressing the button so the door that is but a sliver from closed reopens for their entry, or stick their arms between the nearly closed doors in order that the motion causes the doors to reopen. Now, I could almost see this being acceptable in a situation where the building you're in has one very slow elevator. However, in the office towers where I work, the elevators are numerous, quick, and frequent. I feel this huge weight lifting off me just writing my annoyance down here. There are so many people that do this, that I can only ask these questions: when did this become acceptable? Why can't people wait for the next elevator? Why are we all in such a hurry, all the time?
In knitting news, I've put the shawl to the side for the last day or so, to complete a special project for a very good friend who's birthday has just passed and who I will see very soon.
Time to cook some tofu/cauliflower baked korma.

It's all about the "me know!" attitude. Although i only have dealt with elevators that take a while to get around so jumping on one when you can is the way it goes. What bugs me is when someone does it and then hits 2. Seriously, buildings need to make people use the stairs more often. I've noticed that they tend to hide the stairwells, is that because they don't want people falling and suing? or is it a conspiracy with the elevator companies.
