Interesting Read

The nature of Hell
The following is evidently an actual question posed in a University of Washington mid-term chemistry exam.

The answer by one student was so ‘profound’ that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, “it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you”, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”
This student received the only “A”.

OMG

So I got the debrief yesterday on what happened on the day I was sick from work.
So for a while now, a certain unnamed company has been yelping on that we don't abide by the "Fair Trade Act". In layman's terms, they are currently accusing the company of advertising one thing and doing another.
So being a good business, in the first meeting we stuck our hand up and said yeah, maybe it was a bit like that. We just wanted it sorted. We changed how we run things and it's working well.
We expected that to be the end of it, we had given them everything they asked for and more, but no! Without warning the other day they raided us! I'm surprised they even knocked on the door, I suspect the only reason they did was so they could officially present the search warrant.
They went through EVERYTHING. They made clones of the computers, took papers, looked through the chocolate bars and behind the posters on the walls as if we would be hiding something there. They even tried to take my bosses phone! He put his foot down and said no, that because they'd taken everything else that was the only way HIS bosses could reach him. They did relent on that one suprisingly. But I mean honestly, checking the posters and chocolate bars? Can we say paranoid???

Another interesting night

Well not really, all I can boast is sore elbow, wrist and eyes from playing Black Knight.

It made the night go faster though.
I'm listening to people whine. Damn whingers. Of course there is a bloody excess on your claim, did you think we do things for nothing? Sure you pay your premuims. Look at them compared to the cost of your claim. Do you think we do nothing with your money? There's risk for us to you know.
I really need a holiday. Just need to blob out, get away, relax, do SFA.
I haven't had a call in the last hour, I am so bored.

So this is the first time I've ever made a blog. This is allllll new territory for me, and I hope I will remember to regulary update it.
So what can I say?
Well I'm 20 years old, not single at the moment. I work for insurance and I'm actually really enjoying it.
Like the most popular misconception, I always thought insurance companies were the bad guys and didn't like helping people out. Boy was I wrong. I've discovered that we that work at insurance companies are people too! We have bad days and good days. Sure there are some assholes there, but hey, there are assholes everywhere. I've lost count how many times a day I have to deal with some grumpy shit on the phone screaming at me like its all my fault. Sure I'm the one that was driving your car and drove it into the other person. Puh-lease, give me a break already and shut the hell up. And believe it or not, we do want to help.
Well I'm sure in the future I'll have some amusing stories to tell you.
