good on ya saul.

i vowed some time back the following measures.

- to maintain a professional image on NZM
- to respect other peoples opinions and reasons.
- to solve conflicts with other NZM'rs with Professional negotiation - not this old and tiresome as "ill send you to a rice field for manual labout then punish you with electric wire and crowbars bitch" - that is long gone.

the old "rice field obsessed" lucifer sam is dead, the new professional lucifer sam is here and will be for life.

//I am peaceful, and happy to answer any questions you might have.

Good, because I have many questions.

1. Why is it always that people who cut me off in traffic and then slow down end up giving ME the naughty finger when I then move into the non-passing lane to get by them, and why are these people always driving obnoxiously large pickup trucks?

2. What is the secret to enlightenment?

3. Why is it that I've managed to avoid food poisoning for twenty-nine years and six months, but in the past twenty days have gotten it TWICE? Doesn't that seem a little excessive to you?

4. Can you recommend a good manicurist?

5. Are cosmic forces aligning to prevent blink from mailing things on time?

6. And finally, is this an opportune time for me to look for a new job, or should I continue to be only slightly miserable in my current position while enjoying the benefits of job security?

Thank you for your time, oh benevolent one.
