Thinkpacs - you think, you blog

Some people would probably cash it. I had this refund check laying around for about two months and was just about to throw it out as I was doing my bills this month.
The refund was from SBC after I had canceled my phone and ISDN. I’ve lived in the Bay Area all my life, and it was nice to finally just say goodbye to SBC (ATT became Pacific Bell became SBC became ATT ) for all the obvious reasons. So they of course couldn’t even get the cancellation correct and send me a $1.89 refund for the phone and don’t complete the disconnect of the ISDN. I have to call (for the third time) to correct it. They say they are going to send me a bill.

So I’m doing my bills and they have sent me a bill for $4.14. Great, I take their $1.89 check and endorse it back to them, put in $2.25, and mail it off. Now that’s two less bills I have to deal with each month.

My girlfriend I and would have these funny little fights all the time.  Perhaps you had something similiar.  It would invariably go something like this:

Me:  You’ve called five times and said you’d be here hours ago!

Her:  I said I’d be late.

Me:  No you didn’t!

Her:  You’re mad at me!

Me:  I’m mad because you made me mad!

And then of course the whole topic was changed.  Luckily we stopped most of that after about ten years, but even now after more than twenty years we still have the tendency to occasionally slip back.

Ok, so the post won’t be exactly what you think it would be, especially for the first post on this blog! Well, what can I say? I like to be different, and besides, no one is reading this, and even if they were, I could still say whatever I wanted.

Then, back to the rational and irrational thought thought that I was thinking about earlier, what I’m referring to is how the mind adapts (or doesn’t) when switching from a logical task like programming, to something that isn’t necessarily based on logic at all, like posting to a blog. That didn’t sound exactly right, but my point is if the brain is working for several weeks, months, or years, in left-brain life, it must be hard to suddenly just switch over to right-brain life, for most people of course. For me I think it takes several days to adjust.

So this will explain why this first post is so badly written! I’m sure as time goes on the writing should improve.
