I don't hate being in the office!
Ya say that now...
I would mind being independently wealthy.
Amen.
Okay. To home. In the hurty shoes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what I do hate? Having more to do than I have the resources for (time, staff, whatever). That's what I hate.
But seriously, I don't hate my job. There are moments, of course.

OK, that's it. Time to watch baseball.
I should've left the radio tuned to NPR instead of putting in a CD and checking DailyKos when I got home. It's so much more satisfying to pound a steering wheel than a cushion.

I'm still information-free regarding the primary, and with the magic of TiVo I should be able to keep it that way for a few more hours.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm going to watch baseball once it starts at 7:00, and tell DH on pain of death that he can't tell me results, or even say, "Huh. Interesting." while looking at the computer until at least 90% of the results are in.
When am I going to learn not to let myself care so much about these things?

I'm watching the intense race....Hell's Kitchen. Well, sort of watching. I'm also reading a Nat'l Geographic. I contain multitudes.

The writer of the LJ in question is a peripheral FOAF, so I read him for a while. But the occasional funny didn't balance out the fact that he made me very, very angry several times and I finally got fed up.
So it was amusing to read the posts here, follow the link and go, "Oh. Him. Well, sure."
The thing that made me stop reading wasn't as bad as what was linked but there was a similar strain of... I don't know... pseudo-hippie rationalizations for toolish behavior.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Scarily enough, I was aware of the boobie touching thing. (A friend linked to the original post on his lj) I'll admit I skimmed the post so I didn't see any of the "healing" aspects of it, but it still bugged me. (Why do I get the feeling that women who choose the no buttons would be made to feel like they're prudes or "no fun"? Oh, wait, I've been to cons)

Yeah, exactly. "Play along or out yourself as a prudish bitch who wants to spoil everyone's fun! What could be wrong with that?"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Their chief mistake is in offering people "no" buttons in the first place. A little twist of the wrist, and that's a nice sharp needle to poke stupid people with.
