Mob psych is beyond me. But I can't let groups like these polluting my city with their chants. I just can't. There's gotta be a way, and I've got to be more brave about confronting them.
(I'm now bitterly reminded of a joke. "Let's have the two states solution - in one, those who would like to kill Arabs for being Arabs, and Jews for being Jews. In the other, the rest of us". I'd like that very much right now, thank you).
Shir, I doubt there's an effective way to approach a group of 9 year olds chanting in the street, but kids *are* teachable.
"Who wants cookies?" probably would only work for a minute, huh?
Woot! I've made it to the second round of interviews for the MN job!
Woot! Good luck with the second round! Kick some MN butt!!!
Shir, that is a tough one. Mob mentality is difficult, especially flying solo against the mob. And kids to boot? They are just echoing what their parents are saying.
I took today off, despite it being a Monday, which our bosses hate for us to take off on, and dealing with the fallout of a bad update, which makes for higher caller volume. I have done nothing productive or responsible, and the only reason I put on clothes was because I had pizza delivered for lunch. And that was after sleeping till 11. And I just watched The Avengers again, this time with all the deleted and extended scenes and gag reel etc.
I feel pretty good.
I feel pretty good.
That was definitely the right decision then.
It does sound like you made the right call, Connie.
I am now downloading BBC Time Team episodes from You Tube so I can have comfort TV whenever I want. If only they hadn't pulled Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm off and made it available only on Region 2 DVDs.
Isn't Victorian Farm still on YouTube?
That's one quarter of one episode.
