You were a software engineer?

Heard the news of Joe Stack crashing his plane into an IRS building.
I wouldn't say I am a fan of the IRS in any capacity.
But I'm also not a fan of some failure-at-life moron taking his failing-at-life frustrations out on other humans.
It's tragic for the tenants of that building and hopefully they are all accounted for and treated back to health promptly.

His suicide letter is online and the link was forwarded to me.
Skimming it, I noticed a few errors, typos, whatnot - but this one stuck with me because of the douche bag's alleged profession, software engineer.



I make tpyos and stupid spelling errors that stem from rushing or simple ignorance all the time...did you know it is "piqued my interest" and not "peaked my interest"? Oh...you did.
...Well, me too...
But this prose that you are leaving behind for the world...worth a spell check? Proof reading? Maybe give it to your CPA to look over?
I hear they are good with documents...

Ignore the obvious stupidity of someone who fails to report thousands of dollars of his spouse's income and then acts surprised when he's called on it - it's also quite possible that the jackass failed to start up several software companies because as a software engineer, he never quite mastered the if-then-else control statement.
Joe, it goes something like this...in pseudocode:

if [ you own a plane]
then
    you are not middle class, shut the fuck up.

else
    realize
    (
      lots of people are frustrated and feel powerless, they are not zombies

    )

end.
if [ you are unhappy with things you can control ]
then
    work to change them.

else if [ you are unhappy with things you can't control ] && [ you want to die ]
then
    kill yourself away from others you tool.

end.
