Glad I bought it retail. I don't often say that, but this time I am glad. I bought an HP desktop computer, which, of course, came pre-loaded with Windows Vista (pronounced 'windows crap-bag').

Dave, I know you're into windows vista , but it's given me nothing but trouble.

My advice for those who want to buy vista? Just go ahead and join the military or have yourself tarred & feathered instead. It'll be less stressful.

HP is going to repair it because I got it retail. And, it only took about 30 minutes on their online chat-tech-support. Oy.

Have you heard people upset that Mexican immigrants seem to be the only immigrants from surrounding countries that make the news in negative ways. What about the Canadians?

I found this news story this morning, a story about the violent Canadian immigrant.

While it is not stated outrightly, I believe the subject of this story is a Canadian immigrant.

As you read the story, just remember - the Canadian immigrant was shot by the American first.

The whole story...

I'm firing my boss tomorrow.

I'm quitting 40 hours of work tomorrow. I'll either quit my full time job, or stay there part time and quit my part time job.

It feels crazy because getting enough work to go into business on my own has taken less time than it took to find the full time job where I'm working now.

It also feels crazy because I've been working 80 hour weeks (or so) for the last few weeks.
