I’ve viewed a fair ammount of porn over the years, some of it good and some of it bad. The good stuff is generally hard to come by (pardon the pun), and the bad stuff you just have to laugh at.

I believe I’ve stumbled upon the worst porn idea ever: Big Sausage Pizza.

You scored as XI: Justice. The blindfold arbiter weighs the evidence and passes judgement without fear or favour. There can be no appeal.Justice is not necessarily the same as Law. True justice seeks out the spirit of the law, not just its letter. If a law is bad then true Justice will set that law aside. This is the sacred responsibility of those given the power to judge. If well aspected in a Tarot reading, this card can indicate settlement of disputes, the achievement of a just outcome. If badly aspected this card can indicate corruption and failure of justice. XI: Justice 100% XIII: Death 88% IV - The Emperor 81% VIII - Strength 81% II - The High Priestess 75% XVI: The Tower 69% I - Magician 56% X - Wheel of Fortune 56% XIX: The Sun 56% III - The Empress 50% 0 - The Fool 44% XV: The Devil 44% VI: The Lovers 44% Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

What can I say? I got bored. Sue me.

I was about to clock in for just a few minutes to share a meaningless thought about Fox News and how useless it is, when I noted that someone I didn’t know had commented on a few of my entries.

Moreover, these comments had made it through the spam filter.  Zounds!  A comment from a reader with whom I am not personally acquianted!  Not only were they comments, but they seemed well thought-out and insightful.  I will admit to not understanding every word of them, but then again it’s almost dawn where I live.

Tomas, not only did you flatter me by reading my site, you honored me by sharing my thoughts with me.  Considering the week I’ve been having, it was a nice surprise.

Thank you.

I started work at 7:30 this morning, and finally left at around 9 in the evening. My last 2 hours in the office were spent talking to my employer about how bad a position the company is in. The company is in this position because my employer has refused to heed my advice when it comes to dealing with both contractors and those in his employ who lie, distort facts, and generally fail in their tasks. The entire conversation left me feeling upset and useless.

Upset because it seemed like, despite my 12-hour days on a fixed salary, despite all my hard work and ideas and suggestions and arguments with the boss, bad things are going to happen. I’m one of the few people working and not giving a shit about looking good and trying to save the company, and my salary is right around the second-lowest in the company.

Useless, because it seems like all it would’ve taken to keep things from getting this bad would’ve been for the boss to, well, follow my suggestions. Unfortunately for the company, my suggestions involved making hard choices and cutting away the deadwood, and the boss didn’t want to admit he had to fire anybody or that the hard choices were necessary, so here we are.

A lot of my life is spent living out this theme — “Hey, guys? GUYS! Maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea to . . . Aw shit, nevermind.”

So I head home, which is a 5-minute drive from work. My car has a headlight out, and there’s a spare in my back seat. The wife bought it for me so that I could put it in when I had a moment. Thirty seconds from my front door, I encounter a county deputy sheriff traveling in the opposite direction. It took my staring at his cruiser for a moment, but yep, I saw it — he had a headlight out, too.

I thought that was pretty funny. My mistake.
