I keep trying to put concerted effort into getting work done

Why?

I have dreams too.

POIDH

Why?

Fucked if I know, my work is insanely backlogged because the # of these huge reports I used to get 2-3 times a month I get 2-3 times a week now, almost all my time is currently spent on data entry(which is nice since it covers up the rapid typing noises from forum trolling). My one single account is the lowest I've had it in a long time and is still over 20% of our total open $, and that's across hundreds of accounts. Basically I'm in denial that I have severe ADD I think, and accomplishing something in the 7 hours I'm here is my proof that I don't. Or something like that. FTR I've accomplished nothing past sending out 1 email and making 1 phone call since 9am.

Some people care about doing a good job. I'm not sure who those people are, but I've heard they exist.

I don't try to do a 'good' job, just better than those around me(not exceedingly difficult). This way when I get in trouble I can always say 'But I'm still better than xxxx!).

The one time I tried this all the xxxxs lost their jobs at the same time as me.

That'd at least net me severance pay and force me to get off my ass to find a new job, lol. It's sad when being downsized would be a life improvement.

Just found out that one of my best online friends is going to be deployed to Afghanistan in the next week. It's upsetting. I've had my brothers over there several times each, I've been over to the middle east myself, and several people I know in person have been over there. Yet this is affecting me, maybe it's because he has two daughters that he raises himself, and it affects me knowing that he'll be away from them, because I've been there.

I'm really sensitive at heart, but I worry for the safety of my friends. I've never met him in person, but I'd hate to think of something happening to him, because someday I would like to meet him and his family. I guess I'm just worried. Hearing that a good friend is deploying honestly makes me feel a bit ill.

I just kind of wanted to get that off my chest.

Ah. E3 2008.

I don't get it. What do a geek, a black guy, and the guy from CSI Las Vegas have to do with each other?

Also: sup, lady?

I know what you mean. I missed both of my daughters births to deployments. Afghan is the hot zone right now too.

*comfort* Its more difficult when you can relate to it. But it can make you feel better to get things off your chest.

I just saw someone claim that the Wii has the exact same hardware as the Gamecube. And that it uses the same technology as the Zapper (on NES) did.

Would someone please remind me why eugenics is bad?

They might now be the same, but I wouldn't notice the difference either (seriously, anamorphic widescreen? -_-; )
