Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I just received a PayPal transaction notification.
You people completely rock. Thank you!

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Talked to Mom and Dad last night. There are no signs of damage, and the MRI showed no tumor, which was apparently something my Dad had been secretly worried about for a while.
He's home now, and sounds really great. He has a diagnosis of TIA, and some things he can concretely do, and he sounds determined to do them.
Feeling very lucky today, and many thanks for the ~ma.

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice...
I'd like to put in a request for some job~ma wednesday (around 9am MTN) and thursday (around 11 am MTN). I've had two responses to resumes after almost three months of none. Either job would be great, tho I'd like the one who's interview is on thursday better since I know the people there, but either way a job is much needed and would be welcomed. Thank you, everybody, very much.

move out and draw fire
I've been darker than I thought due to the almost total lack of Internet connectivity here in Roswell, NM. Just found an Internet cafe, but I'll continue to be dark for the next few days until I get back to civilization.
I should have stories by then.

I'm off to the wilds of Minnesota for one of my company's sales conferences (and not even the fun part, I get to work on the laptops) so I will be greyish depending on how much work there is and how nice the pool is....

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Matt has been waiting for his review for days -- actually months, but let's not go there--The review should be good -- there has been an increase in responsibilities -- an increase in money would be nice, even if it is just a token amount.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
