Dead to the World

Ugh! It is far too early in the morning to be alive! x_x

In other news, I left my headset off the charger all weekend at work, so my headset is now dead.

Ugh!

Not entirely irreverent.

I started my current job (sans a couple internal promotions) on August 27th, 2001. Two weeks later, a picture floated around the department (which I no longer have) that was taken at the site of the 9/11 attacks. In a building that was still standing (although heavily damaged), you could still clearly see the signs for the store we had in the World Trade Center. The store had more or less survived. None of our employees were injured in the attacks, and someone who I had worked with in my position just prior to this one had actually been crossing the street to his first day of work at that store when it all started. A few weeks later, once businesses were allowed in to retriever anything that may have survived, the servers from that store made their way here to our office, where they sat in our lab for a few weeks. Disturbing, yet amusing at the same time.

The media circus today regarding the event is completely tacky in my opinion. Shrub's retarded pronouncement of Patriot Day the year following the incident is even worse. I'm not really sure what kind of stupid it takes to think that rebroadcasting the entirety of the news programs in real time on the anniversary of the event, especially something that is still as raw to so many people as this, is a good idea.

But, do you wanna know the really sucky thing? We had to swear off morning sex after that incident. I mean, come on, we have nookie one time before climbing out of bed and what happens? Planes fly into buildings and kill thousands!


Far be it for me to not find something to laugh about in tragedy.
