Tips for starting a new job

~E~ Your coworkers don't care to hear about your relationship with God. Keep your relationship with God between you and God. Ask your question and wait for the answer. Don't ask a question, take a deep breath and talk for 8 minutes about why you think you need to ask your question. This place of work is different from your last place of work. Don't whine about the differences you don't like. You just started. The rest of us have worked together for several years. You don't get to jump in and act like we're the closest of friends. I don't care what led your daughter to text you fourteen times today. See above. Don't get passive-aggressive complainy when a few of us walk down for a snack and don't invite you. Again, we are friends. You just started. It takes time. Lower your freaking voice! For God's sake. (LOL) Speaking in a different accent every time you walk into my office is not cute. DO NOT act like I'm not doing my job training you. You ...

~E~ I swear, he is the most perfectly attractive man on the planet today.

George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina

~E~ Apparently George Tierney, Jr. of South Carolina thinks it's cool and ok to say nasty vulgar things to random women. He tweeted this to Sandra Fluke: W hen are you going to shut that god damn dick sucker ? He got a bit upset when she retweeted his tweet and, like, the whole world saw what a dick he is. So what did he do? He called her a cunt.  On twitter.  And THEN he googled himself! He did not like what he found, friends, and went a bit bonkers over the whole thing. It did finally die down and I hope he learned his lesson, but wow - I feel sorry for his wife and all the women he comes across in his life. I adore Sandra Fluke. I did already, but she handled this very well. Kudos to her!!

Lady, you're not crazy

 ~E~ You know, it’s funny, generally when men refer to their exes as “crazy” what I keep hearing is “she had emotions, and I did not like that.” Men need to just quit with this bullshit.  Here .

They're everywhere!!!

~E~ Everyone is having babies! They're taking over! At least I finally got to get someone one of those cute baby Star Trek creepers, so there are benefits. :) It's strange seeing people hugely pregnant, people who I never suspected even wanted kids. (I think it's a rude thing to ask, frankly) But they're so happy about it, and I get to play with babies without having one of my own. Which would be awesome but I'm getting a bit old for that. Happy Baby Time!

I Guess

I suppose it's time to toss the exboyfriend's crap, if I can find it. It's been two years, he's never asked for it, and he's made it pretty much impossible for me to reach him. I don't think there's much. We'll see.

Where are you?

~E~ Where are the voices of men? Why aren't you sticking up for us? In state after state, and nationally, governments are passing laws to harass women, to take away our rights, to take away important health care and I see my woman friends talking about it. I see women on facebook talking about it. I see my women politicians talking about it, and a very few male politicians talking about it. From all the men I know, there is utter silence. Do you not care? Is it just women, so no big deal? You're not the one getting a device shoved up your private parts so whatever. Do you really think they won't come after you next? I will, sadly, be there fighting for your rights. What does it take for men to fight for mine?
