100 Word Rant

In Joe's latest issue of Funny Times, there was a One Hundred Word Rant by Dave Maleckar. (see picture) This gave me the idea of having my language arts methods students write their own 100 Word Rants, too. I think the students had fun with it, I know I did. The point was to write about something we realize is silly and rather inconsequential, but that occupies our minds, just the same.
Here's mine:

A single moment’s decision makes me crazy! When I take the elevator to get to my office on the 4th floor, at first it’s all quite simple: Exit elevator. Pass several offices on right. Bathroom’s on the left. But then, BAM! The railing around the spiral staircase is right in front of me! I have to choose: left past the collage of pictures, the President’s offices, and Adult Ed; or right past the mosaic and Career Services.  Which way is faster? Closer? Better aerobically?  Who’s watching me? Will someone think I’m avoiding them? Every single time, I have to decide!
