Or, they could just be happy events, and there might be no such thing a beginning, a middle, or an end.  That&#8217;s most likely correct, and the hardest to deal with in this human mind of mine.<\/p>\n<p>A happy event has graced me.  More accurately, the negation of an infuriating event corrected the cause of an unfortunate grim attitude of mine.  So, yeah, a happy event.  Two important results have been birthed from this event.  The first, and most important in the long run, is that I haven&#8217;t been dicked over one more time by corporate America.  The second, and most important in the short run, is that I&#8217;m gainfully employed.  Both of these, while not completely renewing my faith in a system as broken as the one we live in, are happy events.<\/p>\n<p>There is a dirty, grimy, disgusting place filled with vapid people, angry bouncers, and spilled drinks.
