Good thing it isn't a competition

I was dominated even worse this year than I was last year or the year before.

Sigh.

 Good thing it isn't a competition.

I really hope that the world is not ending today. Like most days, I will be sitting in front of a computer today trying to convince it to do my bidding using cryptic instructions. I would much rather be Sasquatch Hunting, but those computers are not going to program themselves.

Sigh.
