> Video games seem so difficult, though my son loved them. Recently he was away and I was trying to master the remote to the TV and the video.

> When I think though of the friendships that gave me most pleasure, they were those lucky ones where I wanted (for whatever reasons) least out of them, and I wonder if that is why I got most. (Some people of course you just can't stand or are hard work.)
> People cannot fulfill your needs (needs? what is this? anyway...) and the whole thing is more trouble than it is worth, and then, once in a blue moon, it just works right.
> Life's enough to send you sideways though.Hehe. Luckily, I've always been good with electronics, all-things-mechanical, and so forth. That's why I finally decided to major in computer science. I did enjoy the field (software engineering) for a time, until I just had too many bad experiences with the coworkers, the company, the way they did things, etc. Most SE's have the social skills of moldy bread, so I never quite fit in there, as I'm mentally a techie, but have the personality of a comedian/actor. I usually hate most SE's I meet. :(
If I ever get better, and am able to go back to work, I don't know if I'll even be able go back into software again. I pretty much hate it with a passion now... long story... some of it I already discussed... much of it, I didn't. Bleh, I get the chills just thinking about it. So many bad experiences, the last company being the worst yet.
