I have to keep reminding myself, my mother grew up in a whole different world, shaped by my grandparents who might as well grown up on another planet.

You're right of course. And it does help to question myself over highly emotional reactions.

And yes, Mum is very much a product of her times, her parents and her class. Class is still very important to Mum, and I think I shock her on a regular basis without ever intending to. So it looks like I'm making a statement, when in fact I'm trying to be myself.

Oh and what Crimson Ghost said.

They're all crazy. Some are clingy-needy crazy and some are nasty-mean crazy. Take your pick. Or call Sheldon.

What about quirky cute crazy? you crazy-ist you.

Clodfobble 06-14-2009 08:49 AM

What are her plans, Ib? She's got another year where you are now, or she's going somewhere else?

Friend bein playfully-mean. I'm not in the mood today I guess.

Queen of the Ryche 06-15-2009 11:35 AM

Totally understand. I came in this morning to the joy of fixing someone elses screw up from Friday - do not mess with me. I will bite.

morethanpretty 06-15-2009 11:47 AM

Yep, had quite a few of those too...actually thats kinda my job. Hmm...
Fixing other tech's screw ups (which there are plenty) really pisses me off.

I think we both need ice cream

or booze

No...ice cream and booze.

Queen of the Ryche 06-15-2009 11:48 AM

Vanilla w/ Kahlua? Chocolate w/ Grand Marnier? I'll meet you in Arizona in five hours?

My Monday was brightened by the discovery that a couple of our folks got their email accounts phished. As a result our mail server spewed a ton fo spam over the weekend and we got on a couple blacklists. Hurl.

Dickheads who want to hold meetings about every tiny thing that needs doing, while at the same time claiming it's not their job or mine so person C should be doing it .....until it's too late to get the required stuff done.

Fortunately i just went ahead and did it anyway without "permission" :lol:

Hell people, it's a backstroke swim meet, maybe we need to have some backstroke flags? so the swimmers don't hit the wall? Hmmm? Finding out how they went missing is not going to make their replacement any faster or alter the fact that they need replacing. before the meet. On Thursday. :smack:
