Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...

it's the little things

Today is the 3rd day of the 42nd week, the 18th day of the 10th month, the 292nd day of 2016, and: 
  • Hard Boiled Guy/Girl Day
  • National Chocolate Cupcake Day
  • National Face Your Fears Day

ON THIS DAY: In 320 Pappus of Alexandria, Greek philosopher, observed an eclipse of the Sun and writes a commentary on The Great Astronomer (Almagest).  In 1386 the Heidelberg University opened.  In 1648 Boston Shoemakers form first American labor organization. In 1818 the University of Bonn was founded. In 1922 the British Broadcasting Co Ltd (later the British Broadcasting Corp or BBC) was founded.  In 1954 Texas Instruments announced the first transistor radio.  In 1967 the Soviet Union successfully sent a space probe into the atmosphere of the planet Venus for the first time. 

 

It really is the little things that can get to you, ya know?

Dear Dell:
  I know the Alienware X51is almost four years old.  I get that you think it is becoming obsolete.  But given the hours of tech support and the amount of hardware that you have replaced – the latest being an Ethernet card – don’t you think that offering me more than $50 as a trade-in to buy a new machine would make sense?  The extended warranty is up this December and I am waiting very curiously to see if you send me another offer to extend because I sure have used it.  You do get two points for [1] having a tech willing to show up after regular work hours and [2] having a woman tech.

Dear “safe” driver
:  Yes I know that I can have a heavy foot on the accelerator at times, but when I can drift faster than you are driving, I think you need to learn where that pedal is!  And while we are chatting, what’s with leaving a car length or more between you and the car in front of you when we are stopped at a light?  Do you realize that you are completely blocking the left-hand turn lane until after the arrow goes red?



Dear voters worried about the election being fixed
:  Yes, I have always felt that “the system”  is rigged in favor of the establishment and no, I have never liked it.  And yes, I agree that there is probably a cadre of powerful persons that controls the media and news – the days of journalistic objectivity and reporting are long long past us – and no, I don’t think every negative thing that is reported about the candidates is manufactured  BS.   But seriously, do you really think just because you don’t agree with the outcome of an election, there has to be fraud involved?  And if you really feel that way, what are you going to do about it?  Riot?  Revolt? Stonewall?  Strike? Just how far are you all willing to go to impose your will on the country as a whole?  News flash:  the right to vote is guaranteed to every citizen, not just those who happen to agree with you or look like you or act like you or live like you.  

Dear job sites
:  Don’t know what is going on, but there are four of you spamming me every single day now  -- you know who you are!  Do you really think that all you have to do is send me an email because you read my LinkedIn profile and I will be willing to contact you about a job you have posted?  And send you all kinds of personal information when I never heard of you before?   

Dear Facebook
:  I cannot believe that I had to change my preferences for my news feed from your “top stories” to “recent stories” AGAIN!  Will you just stop with the changing it already?!

You are now returned to your regularly scheduled programming.
