Whatever the answer, I gotta say the technological revloution is pretty much a major pain in my ass. Yeah, I love the IPod, yeah, I love the cell phone, and yeah, I love the ATM card, but from a professional standpoint I could really do without being tracked down every single second of every single day like I'm some kind of machine. It never, ever, stops and it's just gonna keep getting worse (until the computers replace me). Rat fucking race. (Thanks Vegas)

Ya see, I think I've already just about exhausted my alottment and the only thing that would really convince certain folks is lying about a tragic family event. While I have no problem at all bullshitting to cover my ass, I've never felt comfortable going with the tragic family event angle. Just feels way too dirty.
