like stepping into a raging river i haven't drowned yet
IdentekitWork: blah!! IdentekitWork: i hate meetings UltraPiXy: yes UltraPiXy: i am on my "lunch" right now UltraPiXy: which means, i am eating at my desk and myspacing guilt free UltraPiXy: because i've been drowning in excel hell all day IdentekitWork: I had a 2hr confrence call UltraPiXy: ew IdentekitWork: yeah IdentekitWork: if you knew how long you had left how much of that would you give up to garentee the remaining days are awsome UltraPiXy: ? IdentekitWork: wha? UltraPiXy: explain what you're asking IdentekitWork: if you knew how long you had until you died but could trade some of those days to make the remaining days better how many would you trade UltraPiXy: well IdentekitWork: like if you had a week left to live and could trade 3 of those 7 days to garantee that 3 of the now 4 days you had left awsome UltraPiXy: well UltraPiXy: in the devine balance of the universe. UltraPiXy: half of that time, is supposed to be crap UltraPiXy: and the other half will be equally awesome UltraPiXy: logically... if you were to cut that time in half, in order to attempt to partake of only the awesome part, UltraPiXy: you'd be met instead with a short amount of awesome, equally proportionate to a shorter amount of crap UltraPiXy: so, i would choose not to further limit my time to potentially enjoy things IdentekitWork: no....I'm saying there is a garantee here UltraPiXy: because you can not realistically enjoy things if you have no gauge of crap to put it against UltraPiXy: who has written this guarantee? UltraPiXy: and what if there is a breach of contract? IdentekitWork: the forces thatbe UltraPiXy: i mean, you're gonna die no matter what, contract is breached, you're screwed UltraPiXy: and then just pissed off UltraPiXy: this is why i don't have credit cards IdentekitWork: it's a divine contract...it can't be breached UltraPiXy: the divine universe would not allow for the divine symmetry and balance to be thrown out of whack by guaranteeing you happiness. UltraPiXy: what kind of cult have you joined??! IdentekitWork: it's a hypathetcal UltraPiXy: i have no comment UltraPiXy: i refuse to participate in your survey UltraPiXy: may i have a cookie? IdentekitWork: if you were a red rubber ball for a day what would you do UltraPiXy: i would not be a red rubber ball for a day UltraPiXy: or, if i pretended to be one. i would probably do the same thing i do everyday UltraPiXy: bounce around. UltraPiXy: UltraPiXy: i'm so blogging this conversation IdentekitWork: whatever.....you don't get a cookie until you answer my questions UltraPiXy: alright then UltraPiXy: if i had a month left. UltraPiXy: i would give up 1 week UltraPiXy: and those 3 weeks, better fucking rock IdentekitWork: no no, it's a day for a day................giving up 1 week would only make 7 of the remaining 21 days rock UltraPiXy: huh? UltraPiXy: oh UltraPiXy: see, UltraPiXy: that's what i was getting at before UltraPiXy: what if those 21 remaining days blew chunks then UltraPiXy: and if you hadn't given up that week... you would have just had an "eh" final existance UltraPiXy: which isn't so bad IdentekitWork: well......if your existance on average was "eh" then you would have 14 "eh" days and 7 awsome days UltraPiXy: what if you were bipolar to begin with UltraPiXy: then that actually is a worse trade UltraPiXy: because you could potentially have half and half UltraPiXy: why are you asking me this anyhow? IdentekitWork: any days not changed by this contract would continue as normal days IdentekitWork: as they would be if no contract was made UltraPiXy: ah UltraPiXy: ok IdentekitWork: but 7 would be awsome IdentekitWork: so if you were so inclined you could make 14 days awsome on your own.....but you have a contractual garantee that 7 would be awsome UltraPiXy: i see UltraPiXy: i'm listening to morrissey right now UltraPiXy:
IdentekitWork: I take it your sticking to a 4th of the days you have left UltraPiXy: yeah, sure UltraPiXy: why not UltraPiXy: now UltraPiXy: will these days be clumped? IdentekitWork: it's random UltraPiXy: will they be spread amongst the remaining days UltraPiXy: ah UltraPiXy: such is life UltraPiXy: this is a pointless guarantee really IdentekitWork: how so UltraPiXy: because anyone could make 1/4th the remainder of their life (at least) awesome if they knew how much time they had IdentekitWork: yes but this is a garantee UltraPiXy: it is not unless you spell the damn word right UltraPiXy: xoxo IdentekitWork: if you had a month you could make all 30 days awsome if you tried but this garantees 7 willbe without tring IdentekitWork: and I can't spell....you know that UltraPiXy: i know IdentekitWork: Even if I knew how long I had I'm probably too lazy to make those days awsome IdentekitWork: so I like this garantee UltraPiXy: ha!
UltraPiXy: that's a personal problem then IdentekitWork: i would call it a problem UltraPiXy: you need prozac

the price is steep, but it has been reduced and paid for, and the benefits will be worth it in the end. so much more work was done para non grata. and i am beyond greatful. i've caught myself an alaskan king crab. i've caught myself up on my studies, maintaining job security, coppered my sanity into place, and have commission requests in queue.
broke but not broken, speaking not spoken for. reigns placed in my hands, a ring is what i'm waiting for.
greg (10:44:32 AM): thought of the day... greg (10:44:38 AM): Do not commit the error common among the young, of assuming that if you cannot save the whole of mankind, you have failed. ultrapixy (10:46:31 AM): ok ultrapixy (10:46:48 AM): it should read. ultrapixy (10:47:42 AM): "Do not commit the error common among the young, of assuming that if you cannot save the whole of mankind from giant man eating flying squirrels, you have failed" greg (10:48:08 AM): ha ha ha - much better. ultrapixy (10:49:02 AM): so, since i have at least WARNED you, to watch out for giant man eating squirrels, i have saved you from such an awful fate, and therefore i have succeeded. ultrapixy (10:49:05 AM): that is logic. ultrapixy (10:49:40 AM): i have done my part. i can die in peace. greg (10:49:55 AM): thanks for the warning. ultrapixy (10:50:00 AM): anytime
