Want to know how little control we have over the circumstances of our lives? Yesterday I was sick, at home, with an internet connection that wasn’t working and, later in the day, a telephone that didn’t work.
And there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about any of it, so there was no real point in getting angry about it either.
Those of you who follow along on the tech blog know that I was anticipating a long, stressful couple of days this week because of our annual meeting at work. I was looking forward to that being over and done with Weds. night and relaxing. However, that did not turn out to be the case,…

That’s why i said i think i been abused because of the so called “brain washing” method they tried to do. I’ve always felt it was my fault. I am now 16 turning 17 next week this october.
