thankful for
1) health.
as this article will show,
currently there is an unusually big outbreak of the flu.
realizing this made me start worrying for a second,
thoughts of germ-a-phobia making a brief entrance,
but thought the right mindset would be to be thankful that I'm well.
2) interesting outcomes in technology.
Watson is the name of an artificial intelligence created by IBM
that was able to beat humans in Jeopardy.
when I read an article about how Watson,
after learning the urban dictionary (dictionary of slangs),
started swearing casually,
the thought of it made me laugh and be amazed at the same time.
3) the feeling that I'm not bound to work.
today was one of those days
where, around the time to leave work,
I was thinking,
"no one's going to stop me from leaving,
but I'll just work a little more, just because"
