     I do valuable work I do.  Several days ago I assisted a wheel-ridden woman, she was too large to be on her feet so she asked me to help her reach the top-shelf fudgsicles (Family Packs go on the top).  My typing may sound bitter but I can't help but smile a little —it may've been for grandchildren or who-knows-who, but all that matters is I helped a morbidly obeser get icefudge.

     ¿Think I should begin sentences with an inverted ??  I like it for questions that don't begin who/what/where/why/how because the reader immediately knows the sentence is intended to be a question.  But meanwhile while I was on a cyberhunt for the inverted question mark: if you remember our good glyph interrobang you might be interested in the lamely namely gnaborretni (which if you hold up to a mirror reads: gnaborretni|interrobang) which looks like this: ⸘.
     ⸘Amazing‽ I dunno.  Enough aboot letters though, let's get some action going:

     This is pretty funny too, it's "Driving on Salvia"
     Here's a little ditty Harold Morowitz's article "Rediscovering the Mind"
     "[Biologists], who once postulated a privileged role for the human mind in nature's hierarchy, have been moving relentlessly toward the hard-core materialism that characterised nineteenth century physics.  At the same time, physicists, faced with compelling experimental evidence, have been moving away from strictly mechanical models of the universe to a view that sees the mind as playing an integral role in all physical events. It is as if the two disciplines were on fast-moving trains, going in opposite directions [....]"
Nowhere is caught between these two paradigms quite so much as psychology.  Is our brain the product of experience/perspective or is it simply the mechanistic manoeuvrings of subatomix, electromagnetism, or strings.  ¿Or are those views mutually exclusive?
     Ugh, I got more neato stuff, but I gotta getta grocery shoppin'.

     I have been scheduled for a test for a Trust Accounts/Collections Contact Officer at the Canadian Revenue Agency.  It says:
     As an SP-04 Trust Accounts Compliance/Collections Contact Officer, you will be responsible for reviewing, planning, organizing, prioritizing, and monitoring a workload assigned for the collection of unpaid amounts of all taxes, levies, duties, and amounts held in trust on behalf of the Crown including payroll deductions and the Goods and Services/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) from individuals or businesses.  This involves:
  • determining the ability to pay of the individual or business,
  • negotiating payment arrangements,
  • enforcing payment by initiating legal action,
  • responding to public enquiries.
Duties also include examining and analyzing information and researching internal and external sources.  Contact with clients is made both through telephone and in-office interviews.
     Finally I can crush my enemies using the power of the state.  Typically I would've guessed a position like this to be difficult; it'll be interesting anyways, I mean, given that I'll work for the state I can't imagine it to be very stressful, none of it is my personal responsibility and I don't have to go law it up to prove anything.  Shit, anywho, I gotta go.  bi bi.

     To regurgitate a short essay:
     Curiously, privacy is oftentimes criticised because it inhibits law enforcement and is required only by those who have committed an illegal act of some kind.  The conclusion is that therefore the detriments of privacy far outweigh (what presumably are) inconsequential benefits of it.
     The article goes on to elaborate on several problems of this argument, for instance, private information is used to determine decisions that affect us or others. However, we typically do not have access to what information is kept on us, nor are we able to correct any errors or omissions.  This is especially pertinent in the case of law enforcement which often uses a variety of sources of information (phone records, ip records, credit card, banking).  And since it is difficult to hide information given that warrants can be issued when there exists reasonable and probable cause, it seems unnecessary to circumvent this reasonable check on surveillance by making all things accessible to the government or others.
     The right to privacy isn't necessarily to cover illicits rather than to allow the free-flow of ideas, it just happens that criminals enjoy rights that privacy happens to grant them, which is why privacy ought to be invaded given a proper court order.  Otherwise, we should employ the right to private communication because it allows us to say what we want, or even just because it allows us to speak away from the mic.  And without elaboration on why: all communications should be private rather than just the sensitive ones, and everyone should privatise communication, rather than just those who are more likely to need it.
     As such here's my public key and I encourage you to create your own, whether you're Linux or Windows.  It works by creating a private key and a public key, you send me (or anyone) your public key and keep secret your private key.  That way we can encrypt and privatise communication.

     Well, I did it again, one month in every ten I manage it— a sort of running sickness I overexert myself and get sick-as-a-dick.  Bleh.  But the job front is getting much brighter, I have a chance at WCB which is twenty-three nineteen an hour.  Sweet dollars and super cents an hour, which, if you include the increased working hours, is a mere five times what I'm making now.  But on to more important things:
     Firefox three still more ram (15M) than Epiphany and uses more cpu cycles on startup, page navigation, and probably anything else I would've tested.  I should remark that Firefox may have advantages, but not any in features that I use.  Also, it may or may not be more secure than Epiphany —it's hard to say.  Anyways, back to the good stuff.
     I'm producing a ton of biowaste, phlegm, a running nose, I've never produced this stuff in such quantities as I am now.  I don't really know what that means but I'm along for the ride, that's for sure.

Hells yea, I know that's readable to everyone in the damn world. I created two partitions on my usb drive, the intention in the end is to have a public partition and a second encrypted partition.

Dog Colliding with a Tree: Fail
Toddler Hates Sandcastles
     Me on the other hand, I fail at hating sandcastles.  Lately has been stressful because of various lacks and the disorientation of the last seizure.  But today the fog is clearing up and things look up; up or down, depending on how the job hunt goes.  But, and but again, in the mean-times I've gotten to read some more Age of Spiritual Machines, am inches away from having a domain name point to my home file server thanks in part to Apache, DynDNS, and the righteous upbringing by the parents of a variety of open-source developers.  Oh, and my daddy and mommy too.
     Othernews might interest all-of-youse, Scientific American writes blogging is like bitching: cathartic, and has produced measurable health benefits.  Drinking might also be considered cathartic if practised sparingly enough, so this weekend I figured up that probably I've boozed infrequently enough that I should remove old braincells to make room for new braincells.  Well that was a terrible idea.  Me, my other, her sister, and the sister's other ended up drinking Caribou Lou which we mixed in a pot and used a coffee mug to scoop out pirate-style.  Caribou Lou is a recipe from a rap song (which I've made a cut of because I care about you).  I got too trashed because it's gross and I'm gross and for several moments that night Caribou Lou knew what it was to be me and I knew what is was to be CariLou.  Wretch.
     Oh Oh! I've also downloaded a sweet dvdrip of The Elegant Universe, it's bellyrubbing fabulous —I've never seen it in high quality, it's sweet.  Comment for a copy, I'll even edit out the funding-support commercials for you. :)
     But maybe neverminding that last paragraph and ending back in blogging and back in my dear film Sans Soleil I'll use this to advertise by blogging that I remember that maybe, probably, blogging is about looking into the camera [XviD, 784x480, 8.4MB, 54s].

     Well, things have been a tad goozy lately.  I have a low paying job that gives uncertain hours so I had to pick up a second low to medium-low paying job (depending on gratuities).  So yesterday was only nine hours but, man, I was bloh-blah exhausted from both moving on my feet coupled with some heavy lifting.  I realised haven't had jobs where I was on my feet for the whole shift —it seems kind of weinery but it made me pretty tired.  As such, I slept a solitary ten hours or something, inadvertently, because I was unused to it all.  Working two jobs interferes too much with my personal life.  Jobs, while not entirely freaks of fun-making, ought to assist in creating a proper lifestyle, but not replace it.  These two jobs would provide decent income but would nearly replace my personal life, so... yea.
     So... sucks, one place is eyeballing me to replace the produce manager, but I don't think I'm going to stick that out —it's just too doucheballs there for me.  Meanwhile, hopefully, pleasantly, other employment maybe looms to me.

     Have I posted this for you?:
     "Who said that time heals all wounds.  It would be better to say that time heals everything except wounds.  With time the hurt of separation loses its real limits, with time the desired body will soon disappear, and if the desiring body has already ceased to exist for the other then what remains is a wound disembodied.
That's from Sans Soleil and it's neato interesting à moi ce soir.
     I've been meaning to read and reread and work again but lately things've been drastic: I managed a job at Safeway which, while it's been only two days, has been douchetarded.  I work in produce, I produce things.  Tomorrow is Safeway&BestWestern, I hope it'll be cowboy western, not First World Nation Western.

     Genetics cause curses that sometimes bring what would've otherwise been the sharpest tool to a grey dull.  I too am the victim of genetics which, amongst other things, has debilitated me with an innie.  Any other button and I would've claimed the seat as the cleanest person in the region —mayhaps even the country.  But one or both of those bastards cut me down a notch.
     That is, until today.  Using the vast expanse of human knowledge, filtered through years of scholastics, years of meditation, years of the decrepit foolishly attempting immortality through the passing of knowledge, I cleaned my belly button well.  Post-shower I dabbed softsoap swirled carefully atop a q tip, cleaned it, washed it, dried it with an unsoaped q-tip.  Let this light bless you in your hearts and use it to raise humanity to an even higher pedestal.
