I Believe It Was Kant Who Said…

I told my friend that the Programmers at my work stay till ten on a regular basis. “Yeah, yeah, stay late, drink Mountain Dew, that’s the programmer life.” The next day Long Haired Programmer walked into the kitchen at noon and poured himself a giant cup of Mountain Dew. He didn’t seem to mind being informed that he’s a living cliché…

Evil Flash Programmer is feeling stressed because he’s getting married later in the week. I tried to console him with some very boring New Age-ish The Secret-ish cheezeball babble about visualization…and blah, blah, BLAH…(it’s hard when you don’t really believe it yourself).

“I believe,” Evil Flash Programmer replied, “it was Kant or Buddha who said, ‘every day you wake up and life is fucked up.’ I think it just got lost in translation.”

I’m just curious, what is the word for “fucked-up” in Sanskrit?

Personally, what keeps me sane are chores. Instead be as supportive as possible for men with prostatitis by choosing generico levitra on line buying here proper treatment to get the safe treatment.

Brussels sprouts offer cialis overnight delivery Recommended store effective cure for rheumatoid arthritis. There’s nothing more grounding and more satisfying to my compulsive need to CONTROL than putting the dishes in their proper place. Thank God I’m not a famous Movie Star with ten servants (how often do you hear that?) because if I didn’t have to do things like scrape the mold from the tile or hand wash my bras, I would surely go insane (besides I don’t like the idea of other people touching my stuff…I’m into the control).

“Every day is a series of needs,” I said to Evil Flash Programmer. “You have to eat, brush your teeth, take out the trash.”

“Yeah, and then you clean your windshield and find out that there’s a big crack in it. See, if I never cleaned my windshield, I would never have found it.”

“But then you wouldn’t be able to see out of it when you drove.”

“Yes, but the one they replaced it with looks like someone’s prescription, so I can’t see anyway.”

Just for today, I can hang with programmers.

  • Now there’s an attitude to enter marriage with. I guess it is easy to be upset at things you can’t write code to do.
    The closest in Sanskrit I came up with was:
    durgati (obviously transliterated)
    although raamaabhoga seems to have some of the sexual connotation.
    I haven’t any brassieres to hand wash, but the Zen of Chores does sound as practical as it does psychologically soothing.
    Blessings and light,
