'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
apparently I'll calm down
Okay. I'm revising the letter. It was much too polite, and I need to fully make him piss ice for the arrogance of that.
Perhaps you'll have his license to practice revoked, and he'll calm down and not object to it. I mean, he didn't mind doing it to you, right?
You know what? You don't need to spin it right now. He violated your privacy in a really horrible manner, it doesn't matter his the flavor of his intentions. You can worry about that later, should you want to. Until he can understand what he did was wrong, he ought to get no leeway in trying to fix anything.
So his whole treating you like you're not an actual adult problem hasn't gone anywhere.
I started to type more details of the message, and it's making my eyes cross. Short version, no not adult yet, it seems.
he ought to get no leeway in trying to fix anything
Oh, but he's not trying to fix anything. He's already done the right thing, and eventually I'll accept that.
Ah, well. I have a call in to the head instructor. I'll prep him for the neurologist call. I want to plant some seeds ahead of time.
He's trying to repair a relationship, or whatever.
edited to not sound dismissive.
He's trying to repair a relationship, whatever.
Except for the part where he wasn't acting as a friend, he was using his semi-medical status and information he got during treatment without your permission.
Wanker.
Except for the part where he wasn't acting as a friend
HE doesn't think that, hence
Wanker.
Exactly.
He's trying to repair a relationship, or whatever.
No, he's not. He's willing to wait until I get over it. He's not trying to do shit.
OK, fair enough.
I'm sorry if my misunderstanding is making you crankier. I don't want to do that.
OK, I just flipped on PBS, and there was a landrover stuck in the sand. The voiceover said "and a clever bedouin trick got us free" as a visual of people stuffing weeds and twigs under the tires. Um, not to diss bedouins, but that's a basic automotive unsticking thing. If you don't know that...sheesh.
So my father's really actually retiring, has set a date and let the department know and everything, which I'm just finding... odd. I mean, great. But kind of odd. (Part of this may be from playing Sims 2 for the last several days, in which after you reach a certain age, you jump in the air, spin around, come down white-haired, saggy, and wearing frumpy clothes, and are then able to retire.) Also, weirded out by his talking about the experts at his retirement fund. It's like he's rich or something.
