Another damn day.
That's all it is to Mrs. Spoogeworld. Except that today is HER BIRTHDAY!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. SPOOGEWORLD!!!
OK, enough fanfare. It's just another damn day, after all.
Yesterday I acted with such cool and calculating precision that I surprised myself. When someone typically gets in my face, I usually get back in their face, and remind them that I don't take shit from anyone. But last night I quietly went to the PTB (powers that be) and took care of the matter such that I didn't even break my train of thought. Even better, others acted on my behalf, and commented on how excellently I handled the situation.
Of course, secretly I wanted to bend the fool in half until something important snapped, and then watch as unidentifiable goo leaked from the carcass. But we all have our dark side.
The best part was that now the aforementioned fool knows that his power over me is limited solely to my voluntary participation, and that I will only go along with his plans if I agree with them anyway. In short, he now knows that he is powerless, and I pretty much do what I want to anyway.
I checked to see if anything interesting was happening in the world, but life is pretty much the same shit sandwich today that it was yesterday. Today we just get another bite.
My webserver is still dead. I am trying iteration number 340,981 to see if THIS time I can fix it. If I had the money, I'd just buy another one and keep this one as a spare (for parts). It is so terribly frustrating, you have no idea. There are thousands of websites that give great advice, provided you can get access to the filesystem, or have a rescue disk. Doh! What if you DON'T have one of those? Anyone can fix it with tools! We need some genius who can do it with a safety match, a can of Coke, a bent spoon, and a box of jello. Now THAT would be special.
If you have ideas, comments, or criticisms, tell me about it.
