Human psychology: If there's no carrot, the stick stops mattering.

I'm feeling really rather awful today, not helped in the least by the fact that the top of my head feels like it could fly off at any moment... I don't know why I'm feeling so crappy, especially since I was feeling rather okay this morning.
I was supposed to go around to Vorn's for dinner or something tonight but I'm not sure that I'm going to make it. I will still call him though.
I want to go home.
But first, I should share this with all of you who are insulted by Telstra Bigpond Broadband.
Here is something which accurately describes working with remote systems:
And when it's right, it's right as rain,
And when it's right, there is no pain.
And when it's right, it's not again!
