    And all this talk about bigotry.. I'll bet you you'll find it much harder to find one person who isn't a bigot (what's the word opposite to a bigot? ) in a group of 1000 people than someone who is. There is bigotry all around. People will always prefer to be in a group of people like them, rather than with others. It's the way nature made us.
    Would you feel more comfortable going into a rally or whatever surrounded by Pakistani immigrants, or with a group of fellow Irish-Scots (in your case)? And don't use that "well, it depends how nice they are" shite.. Generally speaking, who would you rather be with? Obviously the Irish-Scots.. For the simple reason they are more alike you than the Pakistanis. Same thing with me and Russian immigrants who try and preserve their non-Jewish way of life, even though they used the excuse of having a great grandparent who happened to be a Jew to get into Israel.
    It's a good job other people don't feel that way or there'd be a lot fewer Jews alive today and there wouldn't be an Israel.

    Exactly what I was thinking.

    Its scary that a people who have been at the receiving end of the most horrendous bigotry possible, can reason that way.

    It's scary.

    Dear wurk.

    Since I didn't get a keycard last week it took me half an hour to get into the office, and then I had to go and pick up my new keycard, and then I had to go back and get the proper code for it.

    And now I have the whole office to myself. The whole floor even. For the entire day, by the looks of it, and most of tomorrow too, it sounds like.

    Of course I'm gonna go poast on the internets (not as if there's anyone to take a break for coffee or something with). What did you expect?

    And possibly try and get into the other offices on this floor. I hear there's some women's thing next door. They might have cool pictures.

    Your sincerely, Snee.

    And just for the record, we don't all desperately need the validation of having people around us who live like us. I feel uncomfortable when I'm in a place where there are only people like me because I wonder why that is.

    Hey, sup Snee. The new job sounds lonely, but possibly naughty fun.
    Now go away.

    'sok.

    I do lots of riting, right now. Compiling a hugernormous document with guides (which I'm writing as I go) on how to do stuff in the system we sell, right now, 'cos all the customers are massive nubs who can't figure stuff out by actually using the system.

    I seem to have nominated myself as the resident GUI-programmer thanks to having really good ideas and mentioning them, also. I'm rilly clevar in a stupid, stupid way But I was gonna learn that language anyways, so.

    And since we've got offices in two different cities I have to travel a bunch The office I was at today is the less populated one.

    The women's thing next door there is intriguing to the max, though

    I'd not thought of you as a paranoid, but now I do.

    Thanks.

    BTW-

    Still can't think of anything to complain about...

    How about complaining about the fact you haven't anything to complain about in the complaints thread..?

    Okay, I'll take that.

    Thanks, Rafi.
