Reflections of Nothing

I AM: markira, a divorced-and-still-single, slightly psychotic mom of two. My posts aren't earth-shattering, just stuff from my life. Y'know, Reflections. Of Nothing (in particular). RECURRING CAST OF CHARACTERS: Mark (23) and Kira (18), my kids. Secret (12), my neurotic black cat, who spent her first TEN YEARS at the shelter. POPULAR TOPICS: Weird ways I injure my accident-prone self; mental illness; various awareness issues; funny things; things that pissed me off; other randomness.

Product Idiocy

How did it happen that out of:

* the person to come up with the idea
* the company rep who heard the pitch
* the division president who approved the product
* the research and development team
* the advertising guys
* the sales team

and who knows who-all else...that nobody thought that encouraging kids to sniff scented markers was a bad idea?

Thoughts that occur to me out of the blue. mk

DISCLAIMER:

Everything here is just my opinion. I am not an expert in anything except being me. I link where I can, but I make no promises that links will work forever and still go to the place I originally planned.

Topics I discuss are of interest to me, but do not necessarily mean anyone in my life is directly affected by it, so please don't jump to conclusions.

Something that works for me or someone I know wouldn't necessarily work for you. If you don't like what I say, don't flame me. If you like it, or if something might help, take what you can, ignore the rest. Oh, and please don't steal my stuff. mk

P.S. I love discussion and questions, and will respect your opinion, as long as it is not derogatory or disrespectful. I reserve the right to delete any comments that piss me off, which include (but are not limited to) bots & trolls.
