Special Double Issue
Deplorable Humanity
As I indicated last week, the issue was pulled at the last minute due to something. I said then that I would explain it in thus issue. Here it is. Saturday night, my sister-in-law's purse was stolen, I spent the better part of the night trying to find the sick little [Censored] who did it and was later stupid enough to answer the cell phone and Identify himself. I have people working on that, since the police showed little interest at all in the case. The officer on the scene even refused, that's correct, Refused to interview potential witnesses right next door to where it happened.(The purse was taken from a vehicle parked on the street) That has put my faith in my local law enforcement at an all time low, I respect the job, but not some of the people in it anymore.
Contest?
I've read up on the poster contest mentioned on theotaku.com(the link should be at the top of the page, and would be redundant to put in here) and while I think the movie looks to be a great addition to the realms of anime, I have my principles about entering a contest with criteria that are subjective, and so winning is a matter of opinion, not chance. Best of luck to those of you who do enter though, I'm sure it'll be worth it to the winners.
Dis-Service Pack 2
If you haven't run Windows Update in a while on XP That long overdue, and highly overreated major security patch/upgrade that Microsoft(For personal reasons I will not link to them for anything) has been talking about since last summer at least is finally out, but it's nuisance flaws are not worht the added security in my opinion. Simple things stop working like notepad no longer opens text documents, and when you try to use open with to reassign notepad as the default application for them, runtime and memory errors come up constantly. I had to restore my system to a pre SP 2 install becuae that piece of garbage was released without being checked thoroughly(They took a whole year to get it out, it shouldn't have any nuisance flaws in it. Since I don't do financial stuff on my XP machine, I have no worries of bank acounts being stolen or credit card info being hyjacked. Anyway be careful before saying "yes" to installng Service Pack 2, it may not be worth it in the long run.
Help (Not Really) Wanted
If anyone has had the misfortune of being unemployed, they might know what I'm talking about in the struggle to get a job. I didn't have a job while I was attending school, I couldn't handle that kind of chaotic schedule, so I waited until after I was out of schooling to start looking for any kind of job that would get me by. On January 15, 2005, I'll have been looking for five years. Recently I tried ot fill out an online application, only to find that they "have to have" some kind of work history information, without providing a response(Got to love those [censored] check box forms) for someonw who has no work history. I tried to send a complaint, but they refused to accept my email, so I'm handling this through the websites tech support until I am told who I can contact in the company with my complaint and not have my email blocked. I'll stoke the fire if I don't hear from someone on that issue soon enough.
Editorial
It's been one of those weeks for me, obstacle after obstacle getting in my way only makes me madder, and more stubborn. I'll go down kicking and biting all the way if necessary to make my points known firmly and effectively. I have zero tolerance for equipment, software, and people who do not function as they are supposed to function. It's hard enough handling the level of incompetence I deal with on a weekly if not daily basis from certain aspects of my family, I don't need it from anywhere else. I'd better take off before I start into something without censoring, that's the mood I'm in at the moment.
