Did you really have to put that song in my head just before i head off to class?

Ex-coworkers from current place of work: 26ish
Current co-workers at current place of work: 15ish - yes he just hired 3 more casuals
Why do I still work there again?
No, no, no, Dee. You want to get them into a chamber that loops ALL of those, plus the Lampchop "song that doesn't end" plus a good bit of Aphex Twin/Squarepusher/other "scribbley" music, to be randomly mixed and to be turned on at random intervals throughout their days to be playing random lengths of songs. And don't forget to add in some new songs too and change up the playlist order.
Why yes I've spent a lot of time dreaming up the perfect ways to torture people, why do you ask?

I'm the type of guy who leaves the car on "a short walk" and end up 1/2 mile away, pockets stuffed and shirt pulled up into a bag and overfull... and I still keep trying to pick up more on the way back to the car!
Aside from boxes upon boxes of "interesting" rocks, I've found nice agate, jasper, quartz, books of mica, and some interesting geodes from the Hauser beds. Most of the geodes were golf ball size and solid, but I found two softball size ones, one of which had a heart shaped center, and the other which had a maroon veneer on the growing surfaces of the otherwise white crystals. It made me wonder if miners dumped mercury in that wash, and it started depositing cinnabar.

I'm glad my wife doesn't know you. She's works for the state as a registered geologist, and already has an abundance of heavy totes full of rocks. I know because I usually have to help her carry them.
On a serious note, though, I know a lot of preparation goes into making those stones all shiney and pretty. I like to look at them, too, but that's usually all we can afford to do.
My wife usually helps to teach the local school children about geology at the annual conservation camps. Last year, one of the children was caught trying to steal some of the displays. It's really quite sad that people can't just be respectful of others and their property.
