You know its a sad day in your life when you open up the old file cabnet draw that houses all of your old work papers. You know the draw filled with old memo's, document, reports, statisical anylis, etc. In my case I have a draw and a half full of documentation that spans my about six and half years of my life. Quite detailed information, logs, reports, and so on for the great year of my demise, 98.

I can look back through this draw and see the life I used ot have right there before me. The detailed reports I wrote, the SOP/SOC's I authored. All of the CC mails, and inter office memos. The requests for promotion, the incident reports, hell I even have all of the monthly shift reports tucked nicely away in their own folders.

So much data, so much work, so much a part of the life I once knew and for the breifest time, enjoyed. 98 was the beginning of the end for me, and despite my best efforts at throrting diseaser, it came any ways.

Now here I am, reading all of these old memo's, reports, and the like, and slowling slip into a semi-deep state of depression over the memories long since past. Oh how I miss those days when I could come and go as needed, was paid well, enjoyed my job, and really loved working for the company. I can track my organization right up to the point that it all fell apart. I go from organized files to haphazardly organized folders filled with messy wrinckled memos and hand written documents.

I even found a report written seven years ago today. I have daily logs for every day I worked from 1997 through 1999. So I can go back and review what it was I was doing on any particular day of those years.

I cannot bring myself to the task of tossing these papers, hell I still have records from when I worked at the Big Red S almost 20 years ago. I know, I am a pack rat.

As I sit here typing this post, I realize that seven years ago today I sat in front of an old 386 PC and typed a report about down time. I do miss those days so horribly bad, but what can one do now? If you live in the past, you have no future.

So I guess I should take all of the reports, files, memo's, training manuals, SOP's/SOC's, cc mails, all of it, out to the burn pile and burn it.

I mean, what purpose does any of it have now except to depress me?

[Babble Mode On]

I too have some old monkeys in my closet/drawer. If I listed the pros and cons of my life the cons (that is the negative part right?) are a good 100 times longer than the pros. Do I have regrets? Hell yes. But I can't go back and change things, so I am forced to chalk it all up to experience.

All I can say is I haven't made the same mistakes twice, so I guess all those bad memories did serve a purpose.

Today my philosophy is I do what I can, I try to improve my meager talents and I take things one step/day at a time. That's all I can do. And you know what? Slowly but surely I'm thinking less and less about all the historical crap in my life.

Right now things are on the uptake, but this 'move in the right direction' has taken me 14 years. I guess I'm ready for a 'qualified' overnight success. Then in the impending interviews they'll say "Oh, so you've been at this for a long time, wow, I never heard of you before."

Thanks Narf. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I have some minor question about a few observations I have.

One, Stargate SG1. Why haven't the Jafa figured out that radio's work? I mean that horn thing is a horrible way to communicate.

In Voyager, I think the Kazon are like African tribes. Don't ask me why I think this, it just seems logical.

Why won't guns fire in space?

I wonder if we will ever break the speed of light, or exceed it.

What year do you think we will discover that we are not alone in the universe, provided you believe in such a thing?

I do not so I will say never. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The bigger question would be "When will Carter show some skin?"

As to Voyager, it should be Saint Voyager. Geese here on earth it only took one miracle to get sainted.

Guns will fire in space. But the recoil would be a real issue.

According to Cosby, it has already been done. Kids can turn off the light, then jump into bed before it gets dark. Also known as the speed of the dark!

Well, I do believe we are NOT Alone in this universe, but unfortunately I don't really expect any unquestionable revelations regarding visitations from 'other-worldly' beings.

I think what you is decided would be for the good of the board and fully supported by all. I think you should lock it down at 999 and prevent any other thread from attempting this kind of rule 5 violation agian. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif In addition, I propose that any one, aside from the moderators that is, have 999 posts deducted from their count as punishment.

Actually in keeping with the forums 'military' ranking system it should be "Commander and Chief". But Fanatic seems to fit too.. 'Fan' (which they obviously are) plus 'Atic' (which is a good indication of what level their post counts are.)

Minas Morgul obviously. Don't you see the Eye at the bottom of the picture? Either that, or it is Geo doing a covert op.

Really, I don't see anything else besides the Eye at the bottom, and if I really try to see something else, it will be a tower. But then, I have never been able to see anything in such pictures: "where do you see 63 among all those lovely red and green dots? I see red and green dots myself. And here, well that's a lovely abstract drawing, and sorry to disappoint you, but I don't see anything sexual in that picture."

Definately but only before she was joined. I could never get used to the "old man" inside her.

I always prefered the more feminine ones such as Roxsana Troi or Beverly Crusher. I totally loved the episode where Barkely built holodeck fantasys of them.
