Dear {person},

I've worked in IT for quite some time. I've seen far too many systems to recall a single fragment of their documentation. You see, time's vampiric fangs have robbed me of youth, memories and virility. Sometimes I laugh at the way engineers perch upon their systems, crafting detailed messages and documenting systems that will inevitably be discarded into an insipid pile of aborted nothingness. These fools are wasting their time! They do not embrace the fleeting nature of the moment, do not treasure life for what it is today and concern themselves with far too many tomorrows. When they become incontinent and sexually dysfunctional like me, they'll realize that they wasted their best years on nonsense.

I can't help but feel, dear {person}, that you understand the value of the now like no one else! When I attempted to work with your system, it spoke to my spirit and made my heart sing! "Now here," I thought to myself, "is a person who values their time." Your refusal to be bogged down by minutiae is clearly seen in your sparsely written documentation and lovingly confirmed by generic error messages that surely saved a great many keystrokes. I find myself wondering what you might have done with the minutes you saved as I dutifully contemplate your system on a deeper, more intricate level. Perhaps you had a melody that you put to verse -- a song so poignant that it echoes through the halls of time? Or perhaps you put a few extra keystrokes into a novel, translating your most intimate and valued thoughts into a work that will bring joy to millions.

I wonder if there is fate, too, thanks to you. Perhaps you left the office a tad earlier that day, and as a result missed a deadly car crash. Could this message I look at now, unhelpful though it is, have saved your life? Perhaps by avoiding collision you've insured a child still has her parent. A loving parent too, one who teaches her to grow into the bright young scientist who finds a cure for cancer. I'd like to think that the vagueness of this error message before me caused a cure for cancer, wouldn't you?

So, dear {person}, I deeply thank you for the time you gave me to reflect today. You've brightened my day and made me hope that others too will learn from your shining example.


With love,

Colin
