After a long day with only some scraps of crap to show for it after having a quite unproductive attempt to drive the company forward I am left at the end of the day humming to myself some of my favorite depressed and often suicidal (based on the deaths of a few folks on the list) song lyrics to cheer me up. Yeah. I am not one of those people who listens to crap by the Monkees when I’m in a crappy mood. I want to hear people in pain to make it clear that I’m not the only one out there feeling like I want to crawl into a cave and hide there until the aliens arrive.
