fiddly detail

[katster]

The sysadmin in me knows it's true:

"If just one piece of mail gets lost, well, they'll just think they forgot to send it. But if *two* pieces of mail get lost, hell, they'll just think the other guy hasn't gotten around to answering his mail. And if *fifty* pieces of mail get lost, can you imagine it, if *fifty* pieces of mail get lost, why they'll think someone *else* is broken! And if 1Gb of mail gets lost, they'll just *know* that Arpa is down and think it's a conspiracy to keep them from their God given right to receive Net Mail ..."

More to the point, though, augh, augh, augh. Need to do this report.

Making it harder on myself is that I didn't do the previous assignment, as that was the point in the semester I was mired in an ugly depression and couldn't think. But god, some of the stuff he wants...I mean, I understand the php scripts that interact with the database. That's fine, but *reports*? *sigh*

One of these days, I'll figure out why I wanted this degree, I will. That day isn't today.

is this done on purpose?

The first paragraph is very similar to one of the final verses of Alice's Restaurant.

In case you're not familiar

and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

I think it's too close to not be on purpose. And I raise my hat to the individual who wrote it.
