Journal KshGoddess's Journal: Random Thoughts... 6

I'm frustrated with work today, but I thought I'd put down some of the random thoughts going through my head.

1. Why do users sabotage their home dirs before they leave?

2. People who say they've looked at all the options before suicide, haven't.

3. Anyone who says they have less to live for than to die for hasn't evaluated themselves or their situation correctly.

4. Why do precompiled packages for free software (esp. for HP-UX) suck so much ass?

5. How much stress do I have to be under before my hair turns grey?

6. I hope my art class tonight doesn't suck.

I'll expand on one or all of these at some point later; no time, but I thought I'd put them down so I don't forget to bitch about them later.

    You have the concept right, it's not the years it's the mileage. Get married and that will cure your curiosity ;-)

I guess most people never really get past teen-angst and find destruction is the only form of emotional release. Its either that, or they learn to say "I am upset and not happy with this present situation" and find that to be an acceptable means of expression anger. I guess DEVO had it right...*

    as for your suicide musings- they should be under one listing. H

    Four depressing and two less depressing guesses.

    1. Why do users sabotage their home dirs before they leave?
    Hm. Ask the people in Iraq.

    2. People who say they've looked at all the options before suicide, haven't.
    Nobody can look at all options.

    3. Anyone who says they have less to live for than to die for hasn't evaluated themselves or their situation correctly.
    True.

    4. Why do precompiled packages for free software (esp. for HP-UX) suck so much ass?
    Dependancies...

    First: Read "The Sorrows of Young Werther" by Goethe. You may not find it rational, you may even find it stupid, but someone in that state isn't rational or thinking intelligently.

    Second, I've thought about suicide quite a bit on many occassions, and I think I've finally distilled out the root cause. I expect
