She was a coworker of mine at Staples. There's more than a year between us, but she was still the kind of person I would come and move furniture for. I didn't even know she was sick until this morning.
It's weird. In a just world, this wouldn't have happened. But life sucks, sometimes. And really, that's all I've got to say on that subject. Things happen. Sometimes they're good, sometimes not.
People tend to question God when tragedies happen. I don't. You can say "God works in mysterious ways" or "It was meant to happen." But that's bullshit. You're using hopeful phrases to wall yourself off from deeper contemplation. There are two possible conclusions for all bad things that happen:
1. God isn't there.
2. He is, and He's an asshole.
It may seem pessimistic, but truly it's the only way I hold on to hope. If I were still a Christian, the non-sense of the world around my would drive me to insanity (Why is God letting this happen? Where is He?)
Faith is abused. Church and political leaders saying "have faith" really mean "stop asking questions."
I don't know if God is real. If he's not, then I still have hope that humanity can come to its senses. If he is, then I will tear down the sky to hold him accountable for what he's done.

HP/Compaq administrator install error
Had a dead hard drive in an old Windows XP Pavilion that I'm fixing, and of course there are no recovery discs available. So, I used my OEM disc to install and activate, no problems there, but now driver updates give me the following error:
"You must be logged on as an administrator to install this update. Update has been cancelled. (9999)"
So after a bit of searching around, it turns out the problem is that Windows decided that the card reader needed to be the labeled C: instead of the hard drive during install. The only way to fix is to disconnect the card reader and reinstall the OS. Joy.

so I write things sometimes
Usually when I'm waiting for something else. Been a bit since I've been on here, but it's encouraging to still see traffic on the site, thanks to an ancient StatCounter account to which I no longer have the login credentials.
Feelin a bit sick today; gonna load up on tea for work tomorrow. Gotta show Lazy Coworker that I have a better work ethic!
Okay, so this is something I've been wondering for a while now. Do flag companies have lobbyists in Washington, trying to get Puerto Rico added as a state? Think about how lucrative that would be as a business for them. EVERY FLAG WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED. They'd stand to make millions. This gave me an idea to sell pin-on white stars. They'd be cheaper to make than full flags, and people could upgrade their current flags with no problems! The amazing thing? This is like my third get-rich idea I've had this month.
Oh yeah. I'm THAT good.
