What bothers/interests me is that I cannot fathom why someone takes the time to do something like that or really feels that urge
Right? Sure, I've thought uncharitable things about other people -- I once saw a guy with a BAD fake tan who really did look orange, and to compound it, he was wearing only shorts, no shirt, no shoes, etc., so there was a lot of orange to go around. And I *did* say to The Boy, "He looks like a Cheeto," but I didn't say it *to* the guy. And I never would.
I can't pretend that I'm nice all the time. And maybe there *is* no difference between me and the person who yells out the car window at passers-by. But I know enough to not say unkind things to people, even if I can't help but to think them.
I just saw this on the news. I'm happy they found more gorillas. [link]
Especially since I'm not liking people much.
Unrelatedly: I wonder if it'd cure the migraines?
Can't hurt. Oh wait, I'm thinking yeah it could....

There is a difference. And you even said it:

I think unkind/bitchy/catty/mean things aaaaaaaaall the time. Everyone does. But the important thing is not going up to people and saying the unkind thing you just thought about them.
ita, I saw an article the other day about new and emerging treatments for migraines. I didn't read it thoroughly, but I thought I'd pass on the link, if you want to give it to your doctor: [link]
I have just discovered I have a
trepanning
squick. I couldn't surf away from that page fast enough.
Happy birthday, Fred Pete!
99% of the worlds' people are assholes.
Today was spent mostly with one of the developers who is... I don't know. I think he's hilarious. But anyway, I kept cracking up because he kept apologizing for being so bullish/blunt in my presence. I was like, have you met me? Where do these people get that I'm some sort of easily offended fragile flower? I spent
years
dealing with irate people with no social skills, bitching me out personally, and running interference between them and these guys, who could not deal with them for 5 seconds. My workskin is a mile thick and that of a rhino. Besides, I ADORE blunt when it comes to work internals. Let's me know exactly where I stand. And it isn't as if I haven't been dealing with the team for, oh, TEN YEARS, without problems.
"It's because you are always nice."
Um, ok. Nice!= easily offended.
