This past Tuesday, I fled work early to avoid driving home in the middle of a looming ice storm, which has now left everything that was in its path looking like a bad chewing gum commercial. I was very happy that I made this decision as it allowed me to, not only avoid becoming a crystallized version of my former self, but also catch up on some quality daytime television that I normally never see and order the entire Pizza Hut delivery menu.
As I stuffed my face with pizza, cheese bread, and buffalo wings, I watched as Dr. Oz informed overweight teens how to lose weight and become more healthy on Oprah . On the way to commercial break, all of the hope for humanity that Dr. Oz had just instilled in me by his, convincing intelligence, kindness and caring, was quickly annihilated in one small message.
I was informed, by none other than Oprah herself, in a sort of public service announcement, that post-its are great for helping you remember things you don't want to forget.
(pause to reflect)
Thank you Oprah!
And yesterday, a woman I work with told me that post-its are great for helping you remember things. The gospel spreads quickly.
I, for one, am glad we have Oprah in this world, otherwise I would still be using post-its to practice my autograph on and decorate my desk with at work.
Despite the mysteries Oprah has finally solved in my workday and life, I am still left to wonder exactly how many people in the program's viewing audience, or for that matter, the world, do not know what to do with a post-it? What kind of monumental lack of understanding could warrant such a confusion to my sensibilities while I am simply trying to enjoy daytime programming and learn some healthy eating habits?
