Further adventures in corporate indifference and stupidity. Transcript of my chat with an AT&T ‘sales’ rep below.

When I woke the next morning George W had been crowned king. Eight nightmarish years followed. Feed for this Entry. August 10, 2014 at 2:03 pm. Other then that, superb blog! You are...

On Suicide, Obligation, Family…. Tags: Adventures in the Absurd. Russ didn’t owe us his life. We owed him. We owed him every expression of caring and reassurance that might have saved his life, given it sufficient meaning, sufficient value that he fought down the hoplessness, the absurdity, and the desolation, and stuck around to embrace one more time, then another, until things weren’t so desolate anymore and he could go on.
