So INCREDIBLY unprofessional. Also rude, but most importantly, UNPROFESSIONAL.
I was going to say...
Anyway, I feel very ugh today. My head has hurt for about 3 days now. I want it to end.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of my coworkers asked me how our joint presentation/demo went. I told her we ran too long, and that it's not respectful to the audience to do that. She's been on the phone in a personal call in a language I don't understand in a very whiny tone of voice for the last 40 minutes.
I'd laugh if there was a connection. She asks for feedback more than anyone else, but takes it so poorly.
Which makes me gentle, but no less honest.
Ah, well. Must go chiro.

That's why you are going to be a good teacher, ita. In the end, it's all about how you present the criticism.

I scrolled through the blog. My favorite line: "Monica Lewinsky wasn't a prostitute running around the West Wing."

I might have mentioned it here before, but a friend of my sister's hosted a "Running of the Bulldogs" in Tacoma last year. Yes, the same time that the bulls were running in Pamplona, Tacoma closed off a block and had bulldogs on parade. So. Damn. Cute!!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Huh. May have disturbed coworker by proclaiming, "I want to kill her. No, I want to kill her, resurrect her, and then KILL HER AGAIN."
It's better to bring them back WRONG and opt out of the second killing.
What?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like the sound of your boss, brenda.
On the anonymous note front, I'd still be afraid that they'd assume it came from me.
Then it may be time to play the nice card, Steph. The next day (some time when they AREN'T yelling), you go up, all "You know, I hate to even say anything, but... [I have to get up early for work/Did you realize how thin the walls are here/some other crap you make up]" But you have to be cute when you do it. Or at least non-threatening.
The only time I ever heard my neighbor in my last apartment was when he was having sex. Our bedrooms adjourned. It didn't happen often enough that I even begrudged him it. ("him it"? Can that possibly be right?)

I heard some truly appalling things from my hell neighbors regarding their sex life. And they didn't care. Thankfully, they got kicked out.
Today is a bad day.
