Are you implying I should actually be doing the job I'm paid to do?

Seriously, mate, are you posting all the news on the job, WTF?

I wouldn't mind an RSS feed or webpage called "aldo's news selection". (Saves me the trouble of sifting through the mess)

Aldo, what are you on? You stopped a campaign because you didn't have the time, and you're making a reader's digest each day.

Not that I mind, though.

This is my thinking time.  I write code very fast, but I need a few hours to think over it (skive).

Plus, you have no idea how tedious & dull this job is.  I don't even get paid regularly, because it usually takes about 4 weeks for the bastards to get round to sending my cheque out.

And this is easy, modelling was long and hard and time consuming.

And now for something actually on-topic...:p

The people in these games are truly inspirational.  I remember watching the ice sledge hockey event from the Salt Lake City games...the game was just as action-packed as a regular hockey game, and the athletes showed incredible determination.  It just goes to show that you can turn disabilities into triumph.

Not really.

They might be the fastest cripple alive, but they're still a cripple.

Just because they fixate on the silver lining, it doesn't mean there's not still a collosal cloud.

I'm not.

Winning at the Special Olympics is a great personal achievement, but compared to the rest of mankind you're still largely inferior.

Not when it takes ten times the effort of normal athletes to do what they do.

Its about being the best among your peer group. So, you don't see skinny little lightweight boxer guys fighting Mike "I will stomp on your testicles" Tyson, do you? Or take for instance college level sports; they can't compete with the pros but its still a hell of an accomplishment.
