Reading rosyxxx's journal

Um. There is this really wierd thing showing up on my screen when I log in on one of my internet providers to the NAO. It comes up with an icon that has a null sign across it. On the other internet providers I use, this does not show up. And prior to today, I don't really remember seeing it. But that could just be because I heard it today, after having turned up the volume so that I could hear Jacqueline de Pre's version of Camille St. Saens "Swan". I was trying to compare her version with that of Yo-Yo Ma, while determining which CD I would like to purchase...

And today, the volume is still up, and I both heard and saw this strange icon. That of course, isn't the only strange turn of events today, but you know... Life has many twists and turns. I lost a co-worker today. It's not something I can talk about. But the strange icon on my computer is... I'm not sure why it intrigues me, but oh well.

It's probably nothing. Unlike some things, which are everything, at least to most of us humans here on earth. Like life. And not dying peacefully in your sleep at a very old age. But alas, this I cannot talk about. Unlike the 'blip' on my screen. I guess someone's life was just a blip too. It's really too bad.

P.S. I feel it worthy of note that yesterday was an absolutely splendid day, with so many wonderful and good things happening at work, and outside of it. If it weren't for yesterday, today would have been devastating. But because of yesterday, the edge was taken off of today. The rest of the pain of today is primarily due to the fact that I am empathetic, and a little afraid. So it's easier to worry about tiny little blips on my screen. I just hope they mean nothing, and that tomorrow is a lovely day like yesterday. That is my wish.

If mountain goats like living at high elevations, why do none live in high rise apartment buildings?
