The internet was invented for pointless memes. Who am I to stand in their way? This one, like the last one, comes courtesy of Betty at Maximum Verbosity
Write a random phrase from each of the following:
Nearest book to you: The two-layer approach treats only the turbulent kinetic energy equation in the near-wall region. (“Prediction of Hybrid Fuel Regression Rate in Confined Turbulent Boundary Layer Combustion” by H. Y. Wang et al., Combustion of Energetic Materials, K. Kuo and L. De Luca, eds.) (I merit a brief sentence of my own in the book: “A special thanks to Mr. Fred Coppersmith for his great help in the English editing of numerous papers written by authors from non-English speaking countries.” Just sayin’.)
Nearest cd insert: Farscape: Music from the Original Soundtrack: “I really enjoy weaving in and around the ups and downs of the spoken word.” (The CD was a birthday present.)
Nearest piece of paper that you wrote on: “ME 516 Projects due 3/29/04 — Give to Damian to grade.” (My boss is out of the country this week, so he’s asked one of his graduate students to grade a class project. So far, only one student has handed in the assignment.)
Nearest piece that was written to you: “Fred — Vacation and sick time is now being recorded in hours instead of days.” (I don’t know why I still have this Post-It note. Three months into the new time cards, I think I’ve figured this out.)
Something on your desk: “Made in U.S.A.” From a box of paperclips. I am, after all, in an office.
