oncoming trains
Driving to work today, I saw a guy with a jeep wheelcover thing that advertised www.poomail.com, anonymous email. With a happy little piece of crap. I don't understand things like this.
At work, i'm trying to document a procedure that isn't really a procedure, mostly a series of necessary mistakes and flailing about that I do to make things happen. In the process of documenting it, I discover that it shouldn't be done this way, or perhaps shouldn't be done at all, lending a touch of absurdity to the day's activities.
Question of the day: Is it better to be toughened by rough experiences and difficulties, so that life's hard knocks are easier to bear? Or to be as innocent as possible for as long as possible, and bear the shock when the inevitable Bad Things occur?
