Always finding that it is too late. Wishing you had spent more time with someone. Wishing you had taken them up on their offer for coffee. Not having told someone you loved them enough times.
There not being enough time.

I prefer today over history. Today is my history. History is life. Life is history. History would be worthless if it wasn't about lives.
As much I would give (everything except my life) to relive some moments, I realize you have to live conciously, 'cos that moment is history.

They make me work 6 hours without a break... That's fine. I think my register is down $7. I hate it when people just drive right past me abd not pay then the person after then pays for them and not for themselves.

Trivial gear-gnashing: why does Google Calendar refuse to print a week view in portrait mode on ONE sheet of paper?????

Definitely second that: Dan Carlin's podcasts are awesome. I particularly liked the series on Genghis Khan - largely because, it turned out, I knew next to nothing about the Mongols - but they're all excellent and well worth a listen.
For WWI specifically, it's also definitely worth checking out:
BBC WWI Podcasts
Imperial War Museum
Lives of the First World War
Voices of the First World War
First World War Film Collection
MacArthur Memorial WWI Podcasts
When Diplomacy Fails WWI Special

I just found out my manager got laid off today, and this is her last day. I didn't know her for long, but I hate it for her since she was a good person to work with. Man, talk about office politics.

aaaand I have to take quinny to the vet this afternoon. She had a playdate with my friends spazoid puppy and I think she hurt her leg....she was born with a condition can't remeber the name...but her back knees are loose? they can dislocate easily or whatever...I'm sure thats why she was a rescue because she is a pure breed AKC registered Boston Terrier . Anywho since she was a puppy I have been doing kind of a physical therapy on her where she thinks we are playing but I'm really strengthening her muscle and ligaments around her hind knees...And we were doing a great job! she went from probably needed surgery when she was just a little puppy and I first got her to a level 2 which means just about normal with no issues. Level 1 is no issues at all..normal dog knees
anywhooo I hope it's not messed up after all that hard work
she is limping a little and favoring the other leg....stupid minions spaz puppy...
ugh I know its not her or max (puppy who is actually quinnys age) fault...they were having fun playing....but I should have watched her closer I guess...or maybe not let them get so rowdy..or...
ugh I'm rambling....

Take some pictures, too, while you are at it. Might work for a CYA if you complain to the company.

DRM!!
I played nice and bought an ebook that I wanted. Both the computer and the old Nook wifi are verified. Get to book over to the Nook, and it wants more info. Finally got that fixed, can read book.
The same book is downloadable FREE on a bunch of different torrents. I won't go that route because of malware, but dammit, I feel I'm being punished for paying for the book!

There is a plugin for Calibre which allows you to strip the DRM of your legally acquired ebooks.

That's a major issue with all the various markets for eContent is portability.
However noble the intentions, let's end this line of discussion so we don't enable folks that will use it with ill intent.
