You're making good progress. I always admire your work ethic.
And thanks.
If all that nonsense with the car-towing idiots hadn't come up yesterday, I'd be done, or close to it. Thank heavens I'm still roughtly seven months ahead of when this needs to be submitted....
Yeah, I was going to mention the still-ahead-of-schedule bit, but I figured since it was your schedule, you probably knew. Heh.
I can't believe the car-towed-idiots. Amazing, the gall, the temerity, the clipboard.
It was "see, you caused us a PROBLEM" 'tude that got me. Welcome to the Age of Anomie, people....
It's like the opposite of empathy. Let me see how I can take anything from your viewpoint and make it totally about me. And how, since I am the center of the universe, I have but to react to these external things that dare to interact with me. Because YOU of course, could cause trouble for ME, but it is inconceivable that I could cause trouble for YOU, much less, that I could cause trouble for myself.
It's mind-blowing, that entire gestalt. I mean, the only reason Rosalinda the Officious Bitch (new! improved! with clipboard!) didn't come right out and say, I don't give a shit about who was inconvenienced, except that it was ME, when Nic asked his question, is because, well, Nic. Large man. Beard. Looking like Gunnar the Destroyer.
That image makes me chortle with evil glee. Every. Time.
Those are handy to have around. I keep one myself. Very gentle, in general, but Rosalinda the Officious Bitch doesn't have to know that when he comes round.

I love him when he puts it on. So very funny.
