Journal Journal: Reasons to speak softly 2
Well, I've been working at my new job as a Tech Writer for a little over a month now, and I've gotten used to the taste of my foot. It seems to be in my mouth a lot.

Even though I am a "computer guy", I don't have a digital camera, MP3 player, cell phone or PDA.
Why? Because I'm waiting (impatiently) for all of those devices to be incorporated into one device that is fully tested and debugged. No more early adoption for me, unless I get a high-paying job again.
Well, I regained moderator status over the summer, but two of my moderations were metamoderated as "Unfair" (for no reason that I could tell), so I guess I'm not going to be moderating for a while now... That's a shame. I thought I was doing a good job.
Oh well. Go away for three weeks, lose Moderator status. What else could I expect?
The good news is that I had a good time, although Europe is terribly expensive for us Canadians.
Barcelona is about Gaudi, Madrid's Prado is magnificent, and Sevilla is a great city to be in on a warm Friday night.
And then there's Granada and the jaw-dropping Alhambra, and Gibraltar's monkeys...
To whom it may concern,
Thank you for your prompt response to my previous e-mail. Unfortunately, your answer, that the service your company has provided to me for free will now become a pay service, was extremely disappointing.
I'm sorry that your company has decided to take away the only feature that made your e-mail service unique, the free e-mail forwarding.

Ok, this is getting crazy. Third time moderating in a month!
I'm becoming Mr. Moderator these days. They seem to think that I should be moderating at least once a week now.
Who needs a job, when I can moderate on Slashdot?
Wow, I've come up for moderator status twice now in the space of a few weeks. Some artificial intelligence somewhere must like me. The digital clerk-monkeys they keep caged in the Slashdot Linux servers must have thought my behaviour was moderator-worthy... twice! Either that, or one of their bananas broke off and hit the keyboard just as my name scrolled by.
Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
