We gave him a second chance, but now he's blown that too.

In this virtual world of ours, friendship matters. I need help with BSOD, I send Jonathan a message asking him to take a look and half an hour later I have an answer. I have birthday, and I find several pages of congratulations. Mister X or Miss Y gets a new badge, and ot's not only noted but truly honest congratulated. it's nice to have this "shadow" world in co-existence with the real one.
Sometimes this world of ours takes over, makes us forget the real world. I don't know about you geeks but that happens to me every now and then. I forget the real world and real people. When it happens, it's nice to get back to earth and notice that friends in this real life also exist. A millionaire without friends is poor, a beggar with some good friends is rich.
I'm thinking this now, surfing on the net (re: Today [7]). My dear "brother in arms" Hans got a call from me earlier today. The call lasted about three minutes. I told him to go straight to a computer store, buy me a mobile modem with a pre-paid SIM-card, some tobacco and so on, and bring them to me as soon as possible to hospital. He left his office and his work straight away, and came about three quarters of an hour later with everything I had ordered. No questions about money, no "Sorry I'm busy now", no questions at all. No, that's not true; he had a question: "Anything else?".
Whatever your life is, it's nice to know you have friends. For us geeks, it's equally important to also have virtual friends. I feel honored to have my friends in this real world I live in, and you geeks, my virtual friends here. Proud to call you friends.
Oh s*** these painkillers are kicking in! Cheap high, health insurance is paying...

EDIT:
The clinic caféteria has a balcony where smoking is allowed, so I can smoke there from 7 AM to 8 PM. Outside those hours there's a garden by the back entrance. Those are only places where I can smoke.
Congratulations A Guy, that is quite an accomplishment. You must have been the inspiration for that movie "The Man With Two Brains". :)
Hi Kari. I know we don't know each other but I just had to add that that's why that person is a technician and not a Doctor. I have had a similar situation and mentioned it to my Doctor who said "they should keep their opinions to themselves and just do their job". My prayers for you and your recovery.David
