i haven't been writing lately. i've been sort of blue. at work, i've seen a disturbing side of corporate existence, and i've decided i don't want a part of it. apple has shown me how money-hungry and uninspired people can be. facts of life, right? anyway, i heard about the I.D. guy who worked a year and had to take a year off of working entirely to recuperate his soul. i partly expected the work to be tons, but i didn't expect the coworkers. that got to me.
one of our colleagues passed away this weekend in a car accident. on monday, business as usual.
i don't know how to explain it. the whole atmosphere in there could appear to be quite an average workplace, but it's not. it's bankrupt of life. the people who do laugh loudly are the ones who actually believe they are making decisions, making the most money, or at least buying new houses. maybe some of them like it, living in that mundane fantasy.

wow.
BIG sigh.
In that vein, a book called "Is the American Dream Killing You: How 'the Market' Rules Our Lives" is coming out soon; I imagine it'll receive significant buzz and touch a nerve with the objectivists and those who worship at the altar of the Austrian school.
Also, for some reason your Atom feed only shows entries from 2004. You might want to look into that.
who are you, anonymous? i thought i turned off the feed!
i hope i dont come across as whiney in that post ... there are lots of people out there who have it way worse than me! and ... they gave me a new monitor for work. (bribery?)
I know you're not speaking from solipsism.
Why did you turn off the feed?
hmmm ... i'm trying to figure out who i know who uses semicolons the way you do ... paolo? but, it's uncharacteristic of paolo to use expressions like "I imagine." and uses three "and"s in one sentence -- but it's not impossible. hahaha.
i didn't even know i had activated a feed. it's always been off since blogger made one available.
