Hey boys and girls,
I had one helluva bad day today. No job is no fun at all. I had a couple
of interviews that went sour because I am stupidly opinionated, and I
disagreed withe both companies' philosophies. And then I came here and it
seems like I started a ruckus. So, I went and played only NINE holes, and
I
shot a 54. A personal WORST. I got home and found an email from a friend
of mine in Seattle, with something in it I read long time ago, but still
chuckle every time I read it. Here it is. Read as much or little as you
want. It's called "Disorder in the courtroom". I hope we ALL have a
great
day tomorrow :)
