i went and spent 1700 dollars on a lottery ticket. but, as the employee was ringing me up, i changed my mind because i figured out that i really didn't want to spend all that money on a lottery ticket. I think i was at a supermarket, but it was a small one, not as nice as the best supermarket in the world, it was quaint and old fashioned. then somehow, i was in a classroom and i had to take the sat's, but i had been thrown into the room, and the booklet was really confusing and it said that the average score is 1485 which i know it isn't because that is really high. i couldn't figure out which section to take so i kept calling collin quin (who was proctoring the exam, of course) but he refused to come over, probably because a few minutes later, he started hosting snl, which was going on apparently, while we were taking the sat's, which was a classroom that turned into the set of snl. I think i also dreamt is was snowing. I can't be sure.

No letter yet. This is getting out of hand

Another day of work...another dollar. Sigh, there is a man that comes in every month or so trying to scam us for some vicodin, and tonight I got especially angry at him. Technically, there is nothing wrong with him getting them but I just know him and his scuzzy friend are selling them. He was so irritating today. And then I got some serious 'tude from a lady and then yelled at by her. I heart my job.

Still no letter.

Just who are these people that make me wait for this letter every day. I nearly attack the mailbox every morning, and the only reason I like going home from school is to see what came in the mail. But nothing has been there, and I am waiting and biting my nails. This is torturous.

I am being manipulated and destroyed

Go to eugenermirman.com, there is a link in the *links* section. He makes me giggle and my friend will be related to him soon. Quite the brush with fame.

Why don't computers behave more? You would think, that since I still have the ability to smash is in to bits and pieces that it would go out of its way to please me, but it doesn't. One might assume (and this is quite the assumption) that since they are smart enough to do complex mathematics and turn on lights in your house over the internet, it would have at least a teeny, tiny sense of self preservation, which would lead it to NOT want to be smashed into pieces. But it does not seem to care either way.

Actually come to think about it, computers having a sense of self preservation would be really bad. But moreover, it would require some sort of AI. But even still moreover, it would require self-awareness, and is that not what some people would consider separates us humans from everything else?

Either way, sometimes you just want to beat your computing machine into pieces.
