Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Not 100% a dick is the standard we are all striving for, Tep.
I...may be a little closer to 100% than most people, though. I hoped that Tim would make me a nicer person since he is so amazingly nice, but I think all that's happened is that I am a bad influence on him.
Allyson, do people at your work know about ita? Or the relevant people (boss, anyone you directly support)? I feel like they should be cutting you a huge swath of slack right now.
But I am a dick who will not let it go if someone, say, INSISTS the first line of Moby Dick is "They call me Ishmael." NO THE FUCK IT IS NOT. I'll argue that even though I don't like the book BECAUSE IT IS PROVABLY WRONG.
I cannot let it go if someone is PROVABLY WRONG. "We aren't going to "agree to disagree", dammit, you're wrong." I remember an argument I had with a guy in high school because he was insisting that in the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still, the robot was named Klaatu, and I informed him that he was wrong, the robot was Gort, the alien was Klaatu. Well, obviously, I couldn't be right because I'm a girl. I hope one day he realized that a girl had beat him at sci-fi trivia. Arguments like that are a hell of a lot easier to win now, thanks to the Internet and IMDB and such.

Yes, they should.
I informed him that he was wrong, the robot was Gort, the alien was Klaatu.
Klaatu barada nikto, dumbass high school guy.
Pretty much what I said!
You know those days when people keep asking you to do things you have never been asked to do before as if it was a normal part of your job you should know about? And then half the normal tasks you try to do have weird issues that require you to get help from various people, none of whom respond quickly or possibly at all?
Yeah.
And I think my body has gone anemic.
Geez, looks like a lot of people need hugs on National Hug Day. Hugs all around.
I spoke to my mom on the phone and she says she feels 95% better already now that the pain is gone. So yay.

That's great news, Callaluna.
All of the hugs to everyone. (They fit into the Intertubes!)
