Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Accidentally, or did he just move too fast? (I know you weren't aiming for the spaniel, of course.)
Ha. No, I definitely was not aiming for any of them.
I was gutting it up the north side of the Capitol with my head down. He was running down the Hill. His eyes looked closed to me, but with him you can never tell.
We both looked up in time to veer off. No blood was let and no pups were crushed.
Phew.
I have no problem keeping my emotions in check at work for the most part--I have heard that this is often the case with adult children of alcoholics.
Oooh, I fail HARD at that one. My emotions are all over the place, and when I get frustrated I cry, which pisses me off.
We learn early to put on a competent and calm face for protection or maybe because everyone around us is without boundaries and someone needs to draw he line. It turns out this skill is very useful in a work environment. Also useful in emergencies or in sickrooms.
It's possible Big!Boss knows how to push my ACOA buttons since he is an ACOA and, I'm reasonably sure, a dry drunk.
OTHER people I'm okay with -- our incompetent webhost, for example, just makes me angry and so I get all steely voice stern with them. But Big!Boss does the shit where he says one thing one month and the next month loses his shit at us for doing it because we should KNOW that we should NEVER do it. That crap is classic alcoholic parent bullshit. When you can't count on your authority figure to be consistent, and you get punished for it, well, it still pushes my buttons.
My issue was that I'd go up to people and say "Nice ______ but your _______ was a bit weak."
Heh.
Unrelatedly, I'm watching Wire in the Blood on Netflix, which is excellent, though really hard to take at many points. It's a near thing. Robson Green, I do enjoy you. And the female lead whose name I can't recall.
I AM A NEGGER.
Don't ever say that out loud.
And the female lead whose name I can't recall.
Hermione Norris?

Jeepers, Steph, do you work for my boss too? This is an exact description of her behavior.
Yes, Hermione Norris, thank you. She's fab, too. Robson Green gets super creepy in this when he voices the killer-du-ep.
These Men-Ups are AWESOME! SFW.

I think we've established that we somehow share the same boss, through some creepy space-time continuum thing.
