My boss has untreated ADD, does not listen well, and both consciously and unconsciously fights against any new processes he does fully understand or feel comfortable with. He also has a bit of an inferiority complex wrt education and takes things very often as people trying to say he is stupid. He is, however, not an asshole, so it makes him better than my last two bosses.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, Burrell, that sounds amazing! I hope Isaac enjoys it more than he is frustratde (for both of their sakes).
Oy, msbelle.
That is hard to imagine, Zen. Although I technically work in marketing, it is so not my favorite.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow msbelle, you just described my brother almost to a tee. Although in his case, add untreated depression to the list as well.

Not an asshole is good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, there's a difference between being able to read music in the middle of a chorus with accompaniment and being able to sight-sing cold. Our reauditions now include an a capella sight-reading section, and it's not fun.
Yeah, yikes. I don't feel like I can Read Music, but I can certainly follow along pretty well. Definitely on the second pass.

I hope so too, -t! Frances loved it, so I think he will have fun too.

So, someone I know just posted on Facebook that her (Long-Island-raised) son got dinged on a school assignment (in Arkansas) for saying "meant" and "mint" are not homophones. Regional accents strike again!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That sounds so awesome, Burrell! Many vibes that Isaac has a great time and that his struggles don't overwhelm him. I know more than a few kids (my own, but definitely others) who get anxious and perfectionist and utterly stuck, and it's so hard as an adult to just stand back and let them figure their way through it and out.
