It was a dark and stormy night.
Sorry, I always wanted to write that. But then again, it was dark and stormy, and it was before midnight, thus making the time of day night. I was driving down Santa Fe road near Aspen Grove Shopping Center when I had to honk at some yahoo who was pac-manning it. Said yahoo eventually ended up behind me in the turn lane onto Mineral road, and as I was completing this turn, he sped up suddenly, creating a dangerous situation where I could not even see his headlights. Do I…
A) Speed up excessively, even though I know it will create an even more dangerous situation
B) Speed up slightly, to the normal (daytime & dry) speed limit
C) Let off the accelerator, and allow my vehicle to coast
D) Brake suddenly, hoping he rear-ends me and I get to sue his ass

Almost ready to start my new job… I just have to remember to throw some stuff in the car. I might want to think about doing that tomorrow.

On Monday, October 1, 2007, the Board of Smartness will be closed permanently. The Board of Smartness was originally created as a fun thing to do back in 2003, when we were all in high school. Now, we have all graduated, moved away, and generally forgotten about this board. These days, it’s even rare for me to spend any time at all on here… in fact, the last time I visited was June. That’s just one example of this board’s deadness.
I will hold a copy of the database until Wednesday, October 31, 2007, at which point THE ENTIRE DATABASE WILL BE LOST FOREVER. This will be THE LAST DAY I could possibly restore the board. I will probably set up another board for something else at some point, since I DO have a lifetime license to use this software and get updates - but I highly doubt it will be another incarnation of the Board of Smartness, which would be the 4th, I believe.
Anyway, it’s been fun. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me at my email address (mattfast1 swirly-at-thingy gmail a dotty thingy com). Otherwise, consider yourself notified.
(This message was also sent to all 8 currently registered members via email as well. The forum.mattfast1.com domain points to this post as of October 13.)
I know I’ve been lazy ever since Target fired me. However, now I will be working at Echostar Communications, based in Englewood, CO at their Riverfront Call Center in Littleton, CO. The building used to be the worldwide headquarters for Echostar, and before that it was a mall, the Riverfront Festival Center. My official job title is Technical Service Representative (TSR), whose job it is to help those who call with a problem with their service, billing, or hardware.
I will be starting training on Monday, October 21, 2007, and progressing to the call center itself a few weeks after that.
