I promise I'll be good....

Amazing that I can feel compassion for the insane boss...her tears of frustration and pain and disorientation through the haze of morphine triggered that knee jerk White Knight syndrome in me went into soothing mode to try and calm her down. It hit me when I hung up; I had just agreed...nay VOLUNTEERED to work OPEN to CLOSE on Friday, a 15 hour ( Read more... )

I look into the yawning blackness of infinity, see my non-existance, and cry in terror and despair

Well that's gotta suck. Btw, there's a word that describes this condtion. That word is depression. I know because I also felt that way whilest working fast food--although admittedly my circumstances probably weren't as bad as yours--I remember feeling that way just after I sliced open my thumb and still had the obligations to two part-time jobs.

but perhaps I'm just tired.

Sleep will probably help. Good luck with the interview, and Remember the Fur-Cow.

Thus the way the "Total Perspective Vortex" works...

The TPV was invented by an guy that got tired of hearing his wife nag at him to "get some perspective" all the time. It works by extrapolating the totality of existence from a piece of angelfood cake. (I love that.) When the inventor-guy stuck his wife in it, the results both horrified him and satisfied him. He was horrifed at what he had just done to his wife, but he also felt vindicated that he had now proven that for a lifeform to have any chance of happiness or peace of mind in the Universe, the one thing it absolutely cannot have is perspective (at least not TPV perspective).

(You may have remembered most of that, I just had to repeat it, 'cause... it's so cool.)

Marvin was made by the Sirius Cybernetics Corp., and, AFAIK, he had no mother. Still, it is just possible that some of the inventor-guy's research worked its way into the Genuine People Personalities division at SCC... :-)

Yes, but what you said in no way, contradicted what I said ( ... )

insane, but you ended up not working as much as you thought so it worked out in the end, and the day turned out good *nods*

and interesting feeling of an abyss, but I believe it was a thought of the moment and venting *nods* I hope the interview goes good, :)
