writing, but not fic.

You know how my HR person at work just said,"I can't help you," and wouldn't even listen to my problem at all?  She has an assistant, an ex-lobsterman-and-Coast-Guard guy, who sat down and listened to me, yesterday, and went through my papers, and in a matter of minutes located something that seemed like it might possibly be the problem and proposed a solution to it.  ( cut for length )


Oh how I sigh and lament that the proprieties of today's age to not allow me to call my caseworker onto the Field of Honor for having treated me with such indignity and disrespect! 

Why, yes, at least being made to feel as though I were being listened to made me feel a LOT better.

the energy shell game

A CNN article - 'Hydrogen is the fuel of the future' 

It requires exactly as much energy to create hydrogen as you get out of it; therefore it's not a fuel - it's a battery.  It's just a clever way to hold the power until you want to use it. 

Now, if you use wind and/or solar power to run the separation system for the hydrogen, then you've got an alternative energy system going on.  But that doesn't seem to be at all what they're talking about.  How they're going to create the hydrogen isn't discussed in these little articles.
