But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane [you aren't alone]
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft a-gley, [often go awry]
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promised joy.

Sometimes things just fall apart.
For those unaware, I no longer work for
Canonical. (I am not a Canonical/Ubuntu hater, I simply don't work
there any longer) Among other things that have happened over the last
year plus, I no longer live in North Carolina, I no longer own a
Mercedes and I no longer have long hair. :) (The sumer heat and
moving belongings took care of the decision there) I won't get into
the whys and wherefores, but I will say that things have changed,
overall, for the better. I am learning new things everyday about
life, myself and others. I'll start back posting some of them here. I
think my next post will have to do with some Windows installation
testing I have been doing, but time will tell.
I leave you all with that for now. More
to come.

ReplyDeleteThank you sir. Sorry for the very late reply. :)
DeleteI love that poem by Burns. I say gang aft agley often in my head because something is always happening ;)
ReplyDeleteIt has always been a favorite. I have said 'gang aft agley' to people before. It always nets me confused looks.
