Say What You Need to Say

Why can’t you be more loving?  Why don’t you think to share?  Why am I not important to you?  Can you see me? 

(I think I might just hate you… )

My header’s better than your header…

Is bragging a sin?  …’cause I’m diggin’ my new Catholic-high-school-girl themed header.

Brings back such dreamy memories.  I can practically smell the football field…

(not to mention the fact that I’m getting a titty-hard-on just thinking about my sixteen-year-old boyfriend’s hands groping me in the stairwell just north of the auditorium; one slim, neatly rolled joint pinned to the inside hem of my skirt) 

Yep, just like mom and dad used to say– best years of my life.    

Conversation Overheard at the Bar Last Night…

[30-something Female to her Friend at the Bar]: ”My boss has been such a bitch lately.  When she gets on my shit, I just go quiet.  She hates that.  She’s afraid of me when I go quiet.  I know ’cause she leaves me alone… “

Now, I’m not really sure why I found this little coversation so humorous, but I did.  Not knowing her, or her boss, I really can’t give an opinion as to whether or not I agree with her perception of her boss being afraid of her when she “goes quiet.”  However, having been in a prior management position, whenever I’ve been a “bitch” and given an employee “shit,”  I’ve never once left them alone OUT OF FEAR when they’ve finally “gone quiet.”  More likely, I’ve chosen to leave them alone ’cause–

1. I’m thrilled that they finally shut the fuck up
2. I’ve decided that this particular ”battle” isn’t worth the fight
3. I’ve been totally oblivious to the fact that there was/is a problem
4. I’ve intentionally CHOSEN to ignore the “problem”
5. I’m aware that they think I’m afraid, and have allowed them to believe so

Tsk, tsk… me thinks someone at the bar needs to read “Art of War.”  I’ve always thought that underestimating an individual– any individual– is a GRAVE MISTAKE.   Besides, why would anyone want to intentionally upset the boss?  You may want to sleep with them to “get ahead” in the future.  Why fuck up a potential future opportunity?

Ghost of Christmas Present

Glad to be home,
glad to be one,
glad to be minus tears.
