i'm a lernin!
i know how to perform first aid on a sucking chest wound, also known as a gunshot, or stab wound. all i need is a peice of flimsy plastic, like the type conveniently found around packages of cigarettes. all i do is slap that plastic right over the wound and it acts as a valve so that the injured persons diaphragm won't push all of the air out of the lungs. important stuff to know in such troubled times. another usefull fact: a person needs an average of 20.8% oxygen to survive. 16% is the minimum, anything over 22% will kill ya.
i'm amazed at the reality of the whole "ask and you shall receive" concept. i mean it. i asked for something that is totally against the rules, and i got it. w-o-w baby. i'm also amazed at the ignorance of the people in charge of me. not all of them, but the ones i have direct contact with: i was working on the computers in the ready room, they were all mysteriously running slow. i was doing all the things i knew to fix the problem. halfway through my troubleshooting process some dudes came in and annonced that they were securing the ventilation for maintence. about ten minutes later it became very HOT up in there. so now, i had officers breathing down my neck, wondering why they couldn't log on, a fucking heat wave, and a seemingly unfixable problem. as a last resort, i called tim and asked him to reboot the switch in 314, and as i was on the tele with him, my ADP officer was looking at me in disbelief and telling me that rebooting a switch wouldn't help. i wnated to tell him he was stupid, and to shut up. after the switch was rebooted, it worked. in your face
