| | Hmmm...November already and still no snow... although if its going to be
freezing every morning with frost on my windows I think that there could
at least be some snow on the ground so that people could crash into each
other and make our insurance bills higher. I mean, think about
it...

Today at work my friend Mark tried to convince me to apply for a new job
posting for a 'Computer Operator'. I was curious as to what this job
entailed, so I took a look at the posting. I then found out that this was
basically a help desk job where you take calls and work crappy shifts, and
if something bad does happen then you call a 'tech-support profesional',
which is basically what I am now. Oh yeah, and it paid about 5% less than
I am getting paid currently. After informing Mark of this his response was
quite simply "Hey, nothing's sweeter than a pay cut." Amen to
that, my friend. I'm going to apply tomorrow.
In the news, 6 convicts escaped from our local jail a few days ago. To
give all you outsiders a clue about how smart our criminals are, lets look
at a few details:
- One of them got caught shortly after because he appeared in public
with blood on him, and when asked by a convienience store employee what
happened he said he was mugged. The employee then called the police, which
he waited for and informed them that he had been mugged. Figuring he would
outsmart the police, he gave them a fake name.
- Two more of the convicts took up lodging in a place on 22nd street on
our west side. An anonymous tip led police to this house late halloween
night, where the police then called "Trick or Treat" and when the two
guys came to the door (together) the police handcuffed them and took them
away.
- One of the remaining escapees has a last name of 'Slippery'. He will
never be caught again.
Last but not least today, I have an incredibly insightful article written
by none other than soul_d, the
author of your favorite RBlords article, "An Open Letter to the
Unfaithful". This time instead of tackling the mysteries of
religion and social behaviour, soul_d has taken to writing about are
far more pressing issue in today's world..."How Yamahas Work". Its worth
a read if you appreciate the writings of this truly unique and
perspicacious author. After all, he WILL be a champion of freedom
and justice.
