At my office yesterday, just a couple of blocks down the road
	someone was in a horrible motorcycle accident where eye witnesses
	couldn't even identify the victims as human beings (of the
	victims was a friend of a friend of mine). At the same time I
	was told that this accident took place I had a man on the phone
	near crying because he thought we were being mean to him because
	his cable was out (he had been disconnected for non-payment).

	The man had to be in his 30's or 40's.

	This captures the essence of this job so well, or rather, my
	contempt for it.

	Oh well, at least we still have our freedoms of speech, privacy
	and right to vote for whomever we want. Oh wait we don't.

	Thanks to a wonderful new law people in Alaska can only vote
	for one party, they have to choose a party prior to voting
	and can only vote straight ticket. How much does that suck?

	To top off my wonderful start to this week, my computer's cooling
	fans busted-waiting for them to send me replacements. Oh well,
	it looks like I'm going to build my next computer so I can at
	least keep track of quality control (and not rely on some
	company worried about their bottom line rather than their
	product).

	In a way, it's been nice having the computer off for these last
	few days. Spending more time talking on the phone with friends,
	playing old playstation games I haven't played for a while (and
	apparently sorely out of practice on) and just having fun away
	from the computer.

	Though I still would like to finish my NeverWinter module.

	:-)

	Thank you God!
