I don't talk to anyone I went to college with. I find that works well.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oooh, more EEEEVIL work, Drew?
I am mostly OK with where I am professionally, but then I never had big ambition to be fancy schmancy. OTOH, knowing that most of my peers are married and having kids freaks me right out and leads me down a "OMG unless I meet someone NOW and love them and get married soon and have kids I WILL BE OLD AND ALONE AND EATEN BY CATS". Which is clearly stupid. But.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I had a meeting about the demon holiday music today
I love that I have a friend who is able to say things like this, in a work-related context, on a regular basis.

I'm going to be alone and eaten by cats without ever fulfilling my potential.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Clearly I need to get more cats if I want to aspire to the "alone and eaten by cats" thing....

I figure I'm fulfilling my potential internally. Fulfilling the heck out of it. You can't see it, but it's totally fulfilled.
Because of all the thinking I'm doing, you see.

I think my only potential is to be eaten by cats, but they'll shun me as a source of protein, thus plunging me into eternal unfulfillment.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hey at least if I was eaten by cats I'd do the cats some good.

I can still get the alone and eaten by cats fear even though I'm married and have a kid. I mean, I could easily be a widow, run through my savings, and have my kid(s) want nothing to do with me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Both of my younger sisters have higher paying, more advanced jobs than I have. a couple of years ago I figured out somethings 1) I like predictable yet flexible schedule that I have. 2) I am good at what I do. 3) My job gives me room to do other things
The only way I know to get out of the stupid mental script game is to re write it.an I mean it - sit and write it out.
Start with why you have chosen to do what you do.
then go on to why anyone whould want someone to do your job.
and then go onto what you are good at that makes you suited for you job.
and literally rewrite the script.
