annoying co-worker!
Oct. 11th, 2010 04:24 pmDear co-worker,
I know what I'm doing. I really really do. You don't have to interrupt my conversations with other people to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
Really.
I may not be totally on the ball, sharp as a tack, and poised to leap, sir, leap into action, but DAMMIT I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! And I don't appreciate being instructed on how to do things that I already know how to do, especially when I haven't asked for your input.
extremely disgruntled,
S.

Okay, other than the fact that your three attempts over two years at getting this system live FAILED like a big flaily faily thing.

Aug. 6th, 2009 08:26 pmShe deserved it because she didn't follow the rules,except that she did - and that's the problem. (For the feminists on my f-list, the post and poster won't induce rage, although some of you will fume about the truths it portrays.)
And I do love that Austereo is still all, "We did nothing wrong!" regarding hooking a 14 year old up to a lie detector and having two adults with no personal or professional relationship with the girl asking her about her sex life: "We took it off once we realised she'd been raped!!! DUN BE MEEN!"
Oh, and Malcolm Turnbull? You're an arse. A-R-S-E. You want to be our Prime Minister, but can't be bothered doing due diligence? Believe me, 'the guy who didn't do due diligence when accusing the PM of collusion in helping out a mate' is infinitely preferable to 'the guy who hung a public servant out to dry when the chips were down' - no wonder Australian conservatives are tearing their hair out right now: because you either were an idiot or you stabbed someone in the back, and neither is going to win you brownie points from the country that still intrinsically believes in 'a fair go'. Plus, you yabbered on about KRudd resigning when you thought your 'Ute-gate' was going to come in. Got your resignation ready? Huh? Huh?
And while we're on hypocrisy and politicians holding other to different standards that they require themselves, what're those "Evangelical Christian" pollies from the US who got caught with their pants down - one of them on Father's Day (with a Brazilian woman?)? You know, the good, wholesome, "family-focused" guys whose dicks just happened to slip into the open vagina of various women who must have, you know, lured them astray from the straight and narrow - but come on, guys, they're innocent!!
Hypocrisy. Comes in so many flavours of political creature.
ps. Nathan Rees, if you made an actual decision and, by golly, stuck to the damn thing, it would be a bleeding miracle. Do you have a spine, or are you faking it by having Joe Hockey and John Della Bosca prop you up between them?

Other than this rant, it was an adequate birthday, that will be considerably more adequate once I get some writing done.

Okay, so, guy I meet once at a party. We, among other peoples, have arrived rather ahead of the crowd. Me, being me, introduces myself and initiates a conversation. Just chatty things to keep the conversation moving.
It's a little difficult at the party at first, because there aren't too many people around - maybe a dozen, and most of them seem to know each other. ( Read more... )

f-list ponderings
May. 13th, 2006 10:09 amI did a quick streamline of the f-list. There are some people I haven't read for a whlie, we don't have much in common, and we don't talk anymore. If I took you off, it's not because you've annoyed me recently - at some point in the past, almost certainly, but everyone on my f-list has annoyed me at some point in the past, and I'm sure it's mutual - it's just because I don't keep up with your LJ anymore.
Truly told? It probably bugs me more than it bugs you.
You know, defriending makes me feel like a bitch (*cue for the snarky to come in and say I am a bitch*) - even if I drift away from people, the fact that I have to 'defriend' them is nasty. It's like stabbing someone in the back: "Well, I still want to be your friend, but I'm 'defriending' you." The language of LJ creates a situation with negative emotional/relational undertones. Who wants to be 'defriended', seriously?
I could handle 'not keeping up' with people - or people not keeping up with me - if it was a keepups list, but a friends list has implications beyond merely reading their LJ. And it may be too late to change the associations of an 'f-list' - at least when it comes to LJ.
This post took me an hour to write. Yes, I know, thinking too much again. Going to write now. 1000 words to the profic and assorted other bits and pieces. I should never read LJ first thing in the morning. I go 'meta' and meta is bad for the fiction.
