doodles, ideas, anything bright & dull

a repository of all the clutter in my mind

10.23.2004

Microsoft had caused a lot of damage to my personal life. They invented this thing called the "Undo" button. Now don't get me wrong, this thing is really quite a joy when it comes to spreadsheets and power points -- saved me a million times from the agony of re-work. My confusion really is when I am already outside the office, that freakin "undo" mind-set is still in my head. So I end up doing things on impulse, subconsciously thinking that I can always hit the undo button and everything will be alright; no inefficiencies, no time wasted, no guilt. But reality is different. Nothing is reversible -- and all that can be done is to do the walk of shame and make the firm resolve to not repeat the same mistake all over again. If I were a machine, that resolve would just be a new code that will be added to my over-all program, with zero probability of failure. But since I am human, this resolve will just be a mantra in my head that will forever be tested. Bottomline is, there's no undo button or code that could help me through life's twists and turns. If I cannot rely on my own resolve, I need outside help. Divine intervention perhaps? So help me God?
