Dear Technical Support

Dear Technical Support Lackey-
When i called you to tell you that I had a virus on my office computer you were perfectly kind and understanding, thank you for that. However, when you told me that i needed to reimage the hard drive and that you were sending me the disks to do so, it was UNFAIR to send me three disks when only 2 of them were going to function. I have now BRICKED my office computer and my boss is SO happy, so thanks.

Kindly,
LongStory

Etyology

I have been thinking recently, about the phrase "bless you." The phrase originates from the idea that when a person sneezes their soul escapes through their nose (some say it is because your heart skips a beat.) So my question is, since we now know that your heart doesn't skip a beat and i believe that most people don't think your soul leaks out of your nose when you sneeze. With that said, why do we all still say "bless you"? Is it just some human compulsion to be 'nice' to other people, even strangers? Or is it just something we have been taught that has developed into a human-kind neurosis?

Wow

So here i go...Today i got my letter accepting me into Tulane University's Medical School for the class of 2013. Here's to the parabolic flight that is med school. Maybe it will make my blogging become more interesting. Maybe it will just make me crazy who knows. While it feels really good to know what's going to happen in the next 5 years or so but, boy, it kinda sucks that i have to wait until June to actually start. Thanks you guys, for believing in me!
