Vortex, that's a startingly petty and assy way to behave. Shame on him

I know! I used to like her, but this is the second time she's been shitty in email. I'm starting to think that she's always "on" when I see her, and that's why I used to like her.

Development people are tricky that way. (I say working in a development office). Yikes!

Dear Santa,

I'd like Peace on Earth for Christmas. I'd like an end to hatred and violence. Life's crappy enough, can you do something to keep us from being crappy to each other? Please?

Love, me.

So much safety~ma for Shir's sister.

Honestly, Vortex, I cannot IMAGINE the thought process that would lead to writing that email. That's real glass half empty (and the waiter probably spat in it) thinking.

I have to say, the irony of the day that the so-called truce (because the shooting never stopped, just reduced) being the same day as the Shministim project goal haven't escaped me.

wrod.

wrod.

Good lord--and if you're going to be petty and bitchy, in email, where it's always on record, is not the way to do it!!

I would be all for requiring national service, here. It would be a massive change and I'm not sure how the heck we'd work it, but I think it would be good for both the nation and the people who did it. But there would definitely have to be some serious options besides military--though I think were we still in peacetime, some people might be surprised by who chose military service.

It is snowing so hard outside! Which now that I don't have to go anywhere, is really pretty. I just wish I'd known I wouldn't have to go anywhere, and N had spent the night, that would've been fun, all cuddly. Sigh.

A lot of US schools are requiring some sort of public service as a graduation requirement. But that doesn't necessarily translate into the students getting outside of their own groups and neighborhoods or to work with those somewhat different from themselves. My niece managed to do her service requirement at her own church, at a function where she would have been volunteering anyway. Not much of a gain there.
