Taking it slow for now.

All quality audits are just justification for auditors' jobs. Pointless conversations about how we should use the word "supplier" instead of the word "vendor" in the quality manual that nobody except the auditor actually looks at.

I understand why they exist, management systems are severely lacking in common sense at times and commonizing things to a degree ensures a tighter supply chain, but it all just feels so ****ing stupid and petty.

There ya go I wrote your essay for you, you're welcome.

Did you punch it at an angle or something? I've pummeled my keyboard quite a bit and I've never had shrapnel.

I don't know, but it got at least 3 hard punches. The num-pad "-" key fell off, the insert key fell off, and both supports on the back fell off so now it has to lay down flat.

I can buy a new one, but of course it's a stupid thing to do.

Really sorry to hear that. Really hope you'll rediscover life's joy as soon as possible.

I think I need to make some changes. Find something to do with my life.

For now, I'm just looking forward to going home for christmas and just forget everything for a week.

Good luck with that, mate. And happy holidays!

Happy holidays likewise :)

1.) My fiancee got a new job today which pays pretty well; this is going to help us tremendously with the mountain of bills which has accumulated.
2.) I started writing standup material again, and am going to be ready to start hitting mics back up in the new year. I've taken the past six months or so off for moving and school and it's so relaxing to be able to sit down and write.
3.) It hasn't rained in a few days and is set to be clear for the next few days - I've actually been able to practice skateboarding and can do so for the next couple of days as well.
4.) My fiancee and I have been planning wedding music today and it's been awesome.

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! Nice to see you around again as well. :)
