An excerpt from a book I'm reading for an archaeology class, this is just one part of the 62 pages I have yet read (And I still have no idea what it's about)...

"What is abandoned by whom? The being by Being, which does and does not belong to it. The being then appears thus, it appears as object and as available Being, as if Being were not.... Then this is shown: that Being abandons the being means: Being dissimulates itself in the being-manifest of the being. And Being itself becomes essentially determined as this withdrawing self-dissimulation....Abandoned by Being: that Being abandons the being, that Being is consigned to itself and becomes the object of calculation. This is not simply a "fall" but the first history of Being itself."

And I'm supposed to be able to discuss this and know what it's about for 3 hours in class!?


That... is sick. I am speechless.

So, I finally move. It was beautiful day, no rain, nothing breaking along the way, no boxes getting lost, the movers were quick, courteous, and efficient, my electricity is working, my gas is on, my phone is working...

BUT NOT INTERNET explode.gif

They were suppose to transfer both my phone and internet services, but somehow those idiots have screwed it up again. This isn't the first time something like this has happened either. ranting.gif

I suppose I should be happy nothing else went wrong, but I had to drive for half an hour back to school just to send off an important e-mail that I thought I'd be able to do at home once I finished unpacking everything. Guess I should have unpacked the computer and tried to hook up sooner. Grah.

Having a grandmother who just flat out fainted with her eyes rolling into the back of her head, then later tonight saying she has never felt so good, has me stressed. (Thats what people say before they die sad.gif)


Also dealing with another situation with my stepfather who lives close by, I need to get him straightened up and into a rehab clinic along with putting the fires out on the bridges he could be burning.... Oh the joys of being a father to your father sad.gif


Oh well, when it rains it pours.

So, as it turns out, it looks like I'm the idiot.

On the way home, and after having a bit of time to get over myself and cool down, I came to the brilliant conclusion that I might want to try the other jacks in my new apartment. There are four total jacks, and I'd only tried the two nearest to the computer. After testing them all, it looks like only one actually works! And as luck would have it, this happened to be the jack that was farthest away from where I set up my computer, which is why I didn't bother trying it earlier, and that was why the internet wasn't working.

Overreacting FTL. Guess that's something to mark off as broken on my move-in form.

You must have a small screen resolution >.>

I was getting tired of that sig anyways.
Ildaudid2007-09-14 05:20:33
Thanks Bali!

I appreciate that man. It is a pain in the ass dealing with him, but hell at least he knows he needs some damn help. Guess that is a good thing.

Meanwhile.... spying through my granny cam (rofl). I feel like some type of wierdo. The granny cam shows no signs of granny movement in the house. All is well (I hope) in the house. It is always good to know an 80 year old lady with Alzheimers is not roaming in the middle of the night >.>

Ildaudid's a perv.
Ildaudid2007-09-14 06:52:32
Yer gross, the grannycam is set up to make sure she doesn't die when I am not over there... not to be a perv sad.gif

From an 870 dollar earning set last week to.. 350 this week. Bleck. At least I can normalize my income with the.. 400 I didn't spend last week.

This is insignificant compared to other rants, but: once again, I'm getting served at things I was thinking I'm pretty decent at. Pretty f***ing pathetic. I wonder does failing over and over hurt your dignity less or more than saying "screw this censor.gif !" and giving up forever.

I never understood this. My dignity has very little to do with what I do wrong and very much with how many things I can do better than you. I think learning, competing, and improving are great, because if I decide to care, I'm going to be better than you eventually. That's...just the way it is. If the learning process feels demeaning to you, though, and I'm in your social circle, I'm going to be basking in an abundance of dignity.

They'll at least stop complaining eventually, especially if you were to roll your eyes at them! comfort.gif

I got fired earlier.

My boss' daughter almost committed suicide because of me. @_@

I swear I had nothing to do with it. sad.gif

Please tutor me in the ways of soul-crushing.

You have to admit, that is a DEELIGHTFUL method of being fired. MY "Yar, brilliant methods of being fired" compendium weeps in terror at your prowess.

Perhaps you could have made her finish it, and splatter the blood from her wrists across the boss' face? You know, so he'd strangle you? Damn Hornstars.
