Read at your own risk. Freedom is an interesting thing. The majority of people believe that the idea of freedom is a good thing. Why would you allow something to have control over you.

As a dedicated bug fixer you might think that my work would be interesting and different, hunting down mysterious bugs and problems. But that's not true. Almost 100% of the tickets I'm given are the same or almost the same problem which a very very simple trace table will more than suffice to find the answer. Entertainment is

Read at your own risk. Today as I was walking to my place of work I saw many miracles happening in front of me. Miracles were as small as leaves falling from decaying trees. Trees which were green are now brown and orange with highlights of autumnal reds. The bark slowly peeling and becoming mulch. Water slowly flowing from the remaining tips of leaves down the trunk into the now fertile ground. Snails enjoying life with the nutrients available. But it's turning to winter and the ground is about to freeze tonight. The weatherman has informed
