ThinkGeek :: No, I will not fix your computer I need this. And the sticker. And everything else this site has to offer. I need a copy of the despair.com poster that says Meetings: None of us is as dumb as all of us. I need more coffee and more reassurance of job security. I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut at meetings. I need to learn how to restrain others from speaking at meetings with some sort of Jedi mind control trick. I need more coffee.
I've never been good with expressing emotions. I always felt that emotions were a sign of weakness - part of being raised as my father's "son", I suppose. Lately I'm having a hard time bottling up those things that bubble up when people start flinging arrows and stones. Some I deserve. Others, less so. Innocent comments get taken out of context and used to further some cause. I make a genuine post about an overwhelming feeling I have, and someone turns it into an accusation, based on some sort of internet statistic that proves I've posted in response to something else. Frankly, I don't see the connection. I get angry more often than I used to, but I often feel like I've been kicked in the gut too. I'm not accustomed to that one. It usually brings tears. Intended kindnesses are perceived as attempts to control. And this post will be labeled as an attempt to send someone on a guilt trip - but hey - if the shoe fits, baby, wear it out.
