X-( Is Sunday and I've been all day in marketing class. Started at 9am with a presentation, and the submission of a case memo. Dr. Hell has been talking all day until 5:30pm. #$%&####.
Thx for this... ventilation needed.

Marketing on a Sunday!?!? That's...that's TERRIBLE!!!!!

My head hurts just thinking about the possibility!

Now, my Wireless Systems class, that's okay

. My fellow students represent, shall we say, a thicker cross-section of society, but the teacher appreciates intelligent conversation.

@Exer
A damn good thing to ask at all
what is love
If I could put all the good definitions of it i ever heard in 1 piece of text I'd still be tempted to finish with the line "All of this and still something more."
While I'd be even willing to agree that there is a certain fraction of population hollow-minded enough to regard a partner as "the next piece of inventory to acuire"
even among the less stupid there is a light heartedness on the topic that makes me sick - alas I'm unsure if I an able to describe the said state of mind properly I'll try:

Instead of investing a proper amount of mental energy i.e. ask themselfs truly deeply and honestly if the people in question actually fit together they think a brief check if they can stick together is enough. trouble and pain ahead.

The lack of seriousness and honesty on the topic is disappointing IMHO.

Damnit! The drawing paper I ordered on December 19th has still not arrived. Admittedly it was coming from Britain but still. I'm afraid it has been lost in translation just as the Sony 900 I shipped to Inda was....

It's probably sitting in a warehouse at Heathrow!

I got this e-mail from Amazon yesterday:

Delivery of your package may be delayed due to extreme weather conditions or an unforeseen natural event. UPS will deliver the package as soon as possible. We are sorry about this unavoidable delay and we appreciate your patience.

No big surprise there, except I was surprised they notified me about it. We're not getting any kind of mail delivery here, not even USPS.

In normal situations, of peace and order, the best possible provider is the good guy, serious, reliable, hard worker, respectful, generous and attentive.

In times of troubles, of difficulties, when one is on the run, escaping from dangers, running for life, striving for food and shelter, than it might be more effective the thief, the rascal, the violent, the ruthless. He might have a better chance of surviving himself and helping others to survive than the good guy who is so admirable and generous with his paycheck, when there are no paychecks no more, but ...
