Oh Goodie!
I have a little proposition for you, involving tomorrow nights lottery numbers and a 50-50 split...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Thanksgiving just gets int the way of Christmas. And they have Christmas stuff on sale already, so that's good enough for me.

Can you do 60-40? I have some drug debts to pay off.

Ok - but only because I like you, and drug dealers can be vicious little sunshines.

I actually did what I promise myself every year (get the Christmas lights up before the weather turns) last week.
Of course, I then just HAD to turn them on!
We got our first real dump last night. It's definitely beginning to feel like Christmas. Let's hope it doesn't turn out like last year (4 days without power!)
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Is it different times of the year depending on where you live?

I hear you. Walmart started putting out Christmas decorations at the end of September.

I had the pleasure of meeting a rainbow-shitting idiot at the groceries. Asked me to 'smile', because life was so 'great'. You cannot help the delusional ones.

You got the wrong attitude bub. Life is a cycle of good days and bad ones, true. But if you never have a good day it's not life's fault - it's yours. Despite the bad times life is great. It's a gift. If you don't see that, then sucks to be you.

Life is a struggle; animals and plants daily competing for the best possible ways to pass their genes. Life is not a commercial and it is not a game.
The lives of our ancestors contained mostly suffering, and so does the life of most people on this planet today.
As for the gift part; from whom did you receive it, and for what accomplishment? As far as we know, it's merely an accident.

If you hate it so much then kill yourself and be happy. Otherwise, stop b*tching.

Ah, that's not possible.

I'm willing to bet dogs, chipmunks, etc. are happier than you are. Just because we look for food doesn't mean life isn't a gift to be thankful for. You're playing a straw man and wasting my time. You're attitude is morbid and boring man. So have fun being miserable and bringing people down. I have an exciting weekend planned, and I'm gonna go live my awesome life with the awesome people in it. Tootles.

We weren't talking about me in specific.

We do not just look for food; it is the battle of the species.

A gift implies a gift-giver. As a catholic, I'll point out that it will be hard to explain "who" gifted it. Once you get over that, (fakkin' gift, just a coincidence) there's the question of motivation. Why would you be given a gift like that? And why does the cockroach that dies a day after seeing the first light receive the same gift?

Turns out my company lost our biggest customer since many years, responsible for 50% of the turnover.
There will be some layoffs.
I'm safe, for now, but I'm going to lose some work mates that I will miss for real.
Sucks big time!

I joined a company that was in trouble and needed my expertise to pull it back on track. I was well paid and happy for a while but then I realised that 85% of the company's income came from one big client. Uh-oh! I mentioned this to the president, CEO, chairman and owner of the company (yes, he used all those titles) and he said not to worry, they had been a client for nearly 15 years and couldn't move away if they wanted to as we had all their data, blah, blah, blah. I worked 70-80 hour weeks for a few months, cut out some dead wood in the IT team, brought in competent replacements and saved the company. Tada!
Shortly afterwards I was let go. The president, CEO, etc. said it was "nothing personal but they couldn't afford me anymore". He would never admit it as he escorted off me the premises (in as friendly a way as he could considering he had given me no notice and not much severance) but we had lost the 85% client. They had begun to move copies of their data to another vendor a month before I had started and, although it took them over a year and we were up and running well again by that time, they completed the process and pulled out. All my work had really been in vain since they had already decided to move away before I had even started the recovery.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
