Carpet

So we got new carpet in the building. Exciting? No.

I used to work in this very building way back in 1998 before the turn of the millennium. (I'm practicing telling stories when my teeth aren't one with my head all the time. That is they spend some amount of time in a glass with something that gets really bubbly to clean them. I guess you still have to brush your tongue?)

When we first moved in the carpets in the long halls had this line pattern on them and it went all the way down the hall. Lots of people complained about it making them dizzy. It really fucked with my eyes too. They actually came in and changed it out to a solid color. They left part of the sickening stuff, just to remind us how bad it could be.

Last weekend they changed it out.

I'm sure the list of goals for the new carpet likely looked like this:

• Should be non aesthetic.
• Should be really obvious where the breaks in the squares are.
• Should be unattractive to the eye.
• Should be as sickening as the carpet it's replacing.
• Should be very ugly.
• Should be less comfortable to walk on then before. (As in: it's thinner and less cushy.)
• Should be very very ugly.
• Should have a very bad color combination.
• Should be ugly as sin.

woo hoo mission accomplished!!! That is some shit ugly carpet (as they say in the south)

The only thing that could have been worse is if the carpet actually had clip art embedded in it.
