i have decided to stop using aim.. it’s just too much to deal with. i also haven’t reinstalled icq since i reinstalled windows a few weeks ago, and i don’t intend to, but may be forced to for business reasons.. i just don’t feel like waiting all day for someone to reply, as if i am an afterthought, a side thing only to be acknowledged if there is some free time. yes, i am bitter. but so much has gone so wrong, i have nothing left. nothing but despair.
