I suppose having one of the professors flinging water balloons at the homecoming parade would be a bad thing.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Gah. Someone is trying to throw me under the bus for their own failures on a project we just wrapped up. This person is a known trouble-maker, and she's got a reputation for hogging credit while pointing fingers, but still...
I was finally relaxed enough to start being able to feel happy about what we achieved this week, and she had to go and pull this stunt. I was feeling down anyhow, and starting to pull out of it, and now this...

Anne, I think your cow-irker and Consuela's should be consigned to having to work together.

Uggh, Anne, that sucks so much. I get so irritated by people who act like that, it's like they got stalled out in their development and are now acting like my neighbor's 6-year-old (who has learned to lie if he thinks it will get him out of trouble). Let's all be grownups and own our own mistakes, shall we? At least if she already has a rep, it shouldn't be too tough to re-aim the bus, right? In the meanwhile, do you have anyone you can vent to? I sometimes go to my boss' office and close the door and just tell her outright that I don't expect her to "fix it" but that I need to vent for a minute. I usually feel better, plus then my boss is apprised of the sitch if the blame-shifters keep trying to aim my way.
Anyway, I hope you get ice cream or chips or a good TV show or some knitting or whatever will help you have a bit of peace for the evening. And that tomorrow things will be better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I get so irritated by people who act like that, it's like they got stalled out in their development and are now acting like my neighbor's 6-year-old (who has learned to lie if he thinks it will get him out of trouble).Ryan has discovered this strategy too. This morning, his mummy asked him if he had a stinky nappy, and he attempted to shift the blame to the animals on his Baby Einstein DVD.
Sorry about the work unpleasantness, Anne.
