    Re: Whatcha thinking about now?

    Why do holidays affect automated procedures? Computers don't celebrate Veterans Day.
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

      The operators of those systems do celebrate the holidays... Could that be it?

        Sure....

        If they're too incompetent to schedule batch processes to occur at specific points in time instead of when a user opens up a screen and clicks a button. I find this option somewhat unlikely since the process that's being delayed occurs around midnight to 3 AM and I expect all relevant human parties to be asleep then.

                  Thanks. Tomorrow HAS to be better because I have a written massage midterm and a practical massage midterm. If work sucks then I have to do some serious grounding and centering because in not going to transfer that negativity to my massage partner.

                  Thanks. Ironically it's because I couldn't do something that I nearly cried. I thought I could but the truth is I just haven't received the proper training and guidance to be successful at what I was trying to do. My mentality is that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. But there are limitations that play into it, too. And that should be OK. But my brain doesn't work like that.

                    Started a new med. I'm hoping it helps. I feel a little better than this morning, but that might just be because i've had time to eat, drink, and move around.

                      We just got cards against humanity. It's awesome and hilarious.

                      We're still trying to find homes for at least one and possibly two kittens. Ugh.

                      I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
                      It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
                      Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

                        KP has now watched all 3 of the original Star Wars... mind blowing that he hadn't seen them but loves the newer 3 and the clone wars. I am still bawling from Return of the Jedi. Every freakin time, what can I say it moves me.

                            There are some aspects of your private life that should remain private.
                            Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                                What, you too? Recently I've been noticing than many of the "true insiders" have actually been here only for a year or a few months. In the meanwhile I still feel like a noob. But I have still a month to go to my PF anniversary!
