When she was putting me together, I think God was doing some experimenting.... Let's double up the ass on this one and just leave off the patience with people and see how that works out.

Well, I'll tell you how that works out. Not too fucking well. And, then it gets worse. See, I have no patience with people so I don't hang with a lot of them. When I was younger I tried relationships. The last one ended, fairly clumsily, more than a dozen years ago and I decided that really sharing my life and myself with another person was just not worth the hassle. That, then, carried over to casual friends. I love my friends. As long as I can be by myself most of the time. And then that carried over to work.

I see others work patiently with idiots. I even worked very closely once with an executive who as a master at taking all the good that people produced and ignoring the irritating annoying bad parts of them. I worked with him for six years watched and tried to figure out how it was done and never got a clue.

The downside is that I've now lost what ever smidgeon of getting-along-with-difficult-people skills that I ever had. I'm ok with that at home and on my own and in my personal life and even within my family. I ignore my sister because I don't like her. She's probably as happy about that as I am.

But, at work, I'd be so much more effective if I could just focus on the chore at hand without wasting my time mentally gouging the eyeballs out of the fool I'm talking to.

Now, however, I'm home for the day and the only person here is witting and charming and great company. But, she does have one enormous ass.

ROTFL

Did you forget to lock this one or was it meant to be public?

In that case I'll just have to wonder who it could be.

See, I think I'm a little like this too...which doesn't help when you're married, with kids and NEVER alone. Today at work I wanted to gouge the eyeballs of this REALLY nice, sweet co-worker. She's just amazingly so non-intelligent about some pertinent work related issues and office equipment that it just puts my panties in a huge wad. I know I rolled my eyes at her today at least once. It couldn't be helped. Lord, help me.

And don't worry, God sent a little too much ass my way as well.

I know that we were cut from the same cloth. If I try too hard to get along with an imbecile my head explodes.

You and I are *very*m very much alike.

It's no wonder I like you so much.

Take it easy. ;-)
