Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

      I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

          It’s easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

          Though the line that’s been rolling through my head since Gaza started is Delenn getting pissed at Lando and G’kar, shouting “When does it end?!” That rant is…. Piercing.
