Ah, Kansas. `Old-fashioned' Kansas state
Ah, Kansas. `Old-fashioned' Kansas state senator says she does not support women's suffrage. Amazing. Normal, logical, smart people must hate the image they give off, between this and evolution.

All suggestions are welcome.

Folks,
Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately...work has actually kept me busy during the day and tired at night. I haven't been online much at all except at work, where I can't chat, blog and surf like I can at home. Today is my last day of work, though, as my temp assignment comes to an end. They do like me here - and everyone here is very nice. At the same time, nothing has made me want to start my own small business than working in a corporate atmosphere, wearing a suit every day, and working on an 11th floor. It was fine for 2 weeks, but that's about all I can do. I have another interview on Monday, but I want to scope out the job first, see if I'll like it.

An email from Joe:
The President has asked that we unite for a common cause. Since the hard line Islamic people can not stand nudity, and consider it a sin to see a naked woman that is not their wife, tonight at 7:00 all women should run out of their house naked to help weed out the terrorists. The United States appreciates your efforts, and applauds you. God Bless America.

Yes, I should be posting more. No, I don't know what to post.
I believe my site is being attacked, I keep getting my logs full of quick requests for non-existant files from the same hosts. The site was slow last week, seems to be picking up.
Jessy's tired of not having things to read. Read these...get your mind off whatever else you're thinking about =)

I'm Exhausted.
Today was my second day of work. Work itself isn't bad - I'm editing and formatting, using a computer, in a fairly laid back office with very nice people. As I stated previously, I have to dress up, and I have to bus there most every morning. I'm also not used to "going" to work. I worked at home for the last year, before that I was in college and only working part time, save the summer of 99, when I went work every day. But I could wear whatever I wanted, and I could get there at 9 or 10 a.m., and leave as needed. I've never, before now, worked in a cube farm, with immediate managers and supervisors and a water cooler and been on the 11th floor. My last two jobs were working for startups, before that it was all part-time and college work. I think I can do it, and I'll likely stay, but it's defiantly an adjustment.

Ack...slashdot traffic...and for a 12 word post, "Without a doubt, the joke is British and Americans won't get it." Silly moderators. Anyway, welcome.
Has anyone else noticed that various sites seem much slower in the last couple weeks? Maybe it's just my local connection, but I've heard others complaining about the same thing. Backbone problems? Leave a note.
Since I've been angering people
Since I've been angering people lately, I'll post a general response about God: If God is all powerful (and you're unlikely to find a Christian who doesn't believe that), then God could get rid of evil in the world, could heal the sick, could end all suffering, could bring everyone to heaven to live forever - and God chooses not to. If you want to worship a God that allows evil, that's up to you. But how can you?
It's a good thing it's all make believe anyway, or I'd be fairly depressed about the whole situation.

It seems some people are offended by what I write here.
I'm sorry you're offended.
This space is my site, my soap box, and my journal. If you don't like what I write here, don't read. None of my opinions are new, nor are they opinions you haven't heard before, either from me or from others. I don't name names except for public figures and friends in a positive light. That won't change. I refuse to bottle up my opinions or keep them privatly for just a few friends - I share my thoughts with the public for many reasons. Again, If you're offended, I'm sorry you feel that way.
