Process 1002938.

I have been forced to be honest with myself today. Process 1002938, which is the thread in me that writes in this journal has been complaining that its priority is set too low. It is always getting pre-empted by larger processes. It demanded me that I either grant it a higher privilege level, or discontinue it altogether.

To the dismay of my journal process, I, the system administrator, decided for the latter option. I cannot continue to operate without the kernel processes 0000021 [Sleep], 0000005 [Food] and 0001028 [Family] and especially not without 0000001 [God]. Furthermore, process 0000002 [Conscience] revealed to me this morning that it is not satisfied with the system's performance and considered lowering process 1002938 [Journal] to an even lower priority echelon.

If you enjoyed reading any of these entries, they will remain in storage, to be retrieved whenever you come here. I will keep them posted on the web. However, to my own dismay and loss, this section of my web site will once again freeze, and cease to be dynamic.

Bye.

Note: An entry into another web journal, Water, by Magdalena Donea, gave me the idea for this entry.
