Even if there weren't dozens of people here who could reassure you that you're a kind, thoughtful, and conscientious person, actual assholes don't worry (or care) about whether or not that's an accurate description of them. The problem is not with you.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Back on the phone with the pharmacy, since I haven't heard back from either of the two doctors I've left messages with today.

And the migraine never really went away. It's a little better, but I still just want to go home and become one with my comforter. Except I have a concert this week! So no free nights until Friday.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Gud, I hope your wife isn't the one calling you an asshole. Because that's abusive as hell, and it's not okay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What exactly is the behavior that earned you being called an asshole? The hivemind shall judge.

I dunno. Maybe I am an asshole. I try not to be, but maybe I'm just... I dunno, defective and can't help it.

Sweet Jesus, no! I think we would have noticed by now.

Thrive to spite them

Gud YOU ARE NOT DEFECTIVE!

This is coming from someone who struggles with those feelings every day.

You are not defective. You aren't. Your brain works differently and maybe you aren't the husband your wife wants but that does not mean you are defective. Or a loser.

Am I the only person who has a hard time getting through on the phone to a doctor's office any more? They all just send you to the voicemail system, and if you're lucky, you get a call back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel increasingly lucky with my medical practice -- you can get to a person in any department really easily. But I don't have any prescriptions, much less difficult prescriptions.

What exactly is the behavior that earned you being called an asshole? The hivemind shall judge.

I like this idea. We are impartial! (although at first I thought you said the Beyhive will judge, and that seemed like possibly going a little overboard.)
