My deodorant and mouthwash sit next to each other in my medicine cabinet and everyday I flirt with disaster.

United Airlines has to be the most unfriendly airline ever. They overbook all of their flights, will give away your seat to standby passengers while you wait in the security line and they charge for in-flight meals. Now, I can deal with all that. The head office has decided they don’t care about customer satisfaction and that’s okay with me. It ( Read more... )

I have accomplished absolutely nothing at work today. I showed up twenty mintues late, talked with one of my co-workers and listened to music.

I spend much more time being worn down by the thought of what I have left to do while everyone else parties and packs their belongings. Today, I spent about five hours in the computer lab, working on my ( Read more... )

I'm currently reading a terrible book. It's full of the incest and homosexualism reviewers are so crazy about. Actually, there is no incest and only a smidge of homosexualism. However, there is plenty of sexual frustration, depression and dysfunctional relationships. I have no idea why I'm still reading this book. I suppose it's some form of ( Read more... )

For thousands of years, class warfare between the upper and lower portions of society have been a major part of human culture. In ancient Egypt, the Jews rebelled against the Pharaoh and their Egyptian masters. The serfs of feudal Japan rose up from the fields to move against their lords. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Bolsheviks ( Read more... )

I'm in an odd funk at the moment. I can only hope it passes soon.
