That's SO meta!

I have a "Quote of the Day" box on my Google homepage and I am continually amused by the quotes that appear. Some are extremely funny, some are wrist-slitting depressing, and some are brain-stretching, like this quote from Jacques Derrida:

To pretend, I actually do the thing. Therefore, I have only pretended to pretend.

Best quote ever! Now this is the way I like to think! I printed it off and stuck it up in my cubicle, upside-down of course!

Drinking Problem

Whenever I fill up a glass, I fill it all the way up, to the point where it's almost overflowing and I have to slurp up some of the liquid in it before I can even pick it up. I am particularly bad about this with water and with coffee (though my need for extreme amounts of creamer is partially to blame).

You know how they describe optimists as people who see the glass as half full, and pessimists as people who see the glass as half empty? What's it mean when you see the glass as never full enough?
