• Per my boss, apparently childless people are selfish and self absorbed. I would take offense to this, and rant at length, but it's such a gross generalization that was obviously ill thought out, that it does not seem worth the effort.
  
  
• Am working on new story, though it's not one I'll be posting. Got nine pages written in my notebook this morning...then left it at work -__- Argh!
  
  
• I hate the business world. Hate it. I hate the red tape, the two face nature of it, the backstabbing, the gossip...and that I have to work closely with the guy who like two years ago said to me in my bosses house that he'd always wanted to sleep with me. I want to punch him in the fucking face.
  
  
• People call me cold-hearted, and I guess I can be. I know I rant, and whine, and am generally given to histrionics -- but I do something about it. I always try to do something, even if it takes me a few days. I expect no pity or sympathy. I rant because ranting gets shit out of my system so I can think clearly again. I have nothing but contempt for people who whine and whine and whine, then reject every solution offered, and sit around waiting for someone else to fix their problems. If that makes me cold hearted, so be it.
  
  
• Returning to afore mentioned notebook -- I left the house early today to go to McD's for breakfast, and wrote for like an hour while sitting there (and I may do it again tomorrow, and I know it's a waste of money, but it's so nice to go out and enjoy my coffee and write somewhere other than at my desk, you know). This group of old men were sitting nearby, and every now and then one would turn and look at me. Finally one of them went "Hey, Miss. Are you writing a book?" I told him yes, and he was delighted. "I knew it. I told them that's what you were doing!" It made me giggle. ^__^
  
  
• I'm sure everyone is sick of my work rambles, but it's amusing to me that the past two days I've had to work straight through my lunch. This never happens - my company is nazi about lunch breaks and shit. So, it just goes to show how important all this is (and how they had better hurry the fuck up and get the job opening posted for the position I'm covering)
  
  
• I think that's it

I love old people. ♥ They’re adorable when they’re not too busy being evil. Same with children. Although children also tend to be adorable while they’re being evil.

I can sort of understand your boss’s POV, if only because my parents are more obsessed with my siblings and I than … um, anything in existence? But I wouldn’t have taken that generalization with as much grace as you had. If anything, I would’ve sicced my nephews on anyone who’d actually said something like that and let them indoctrinate their target in the ways of the Selfish. -_-;;

Your patience is being coveted in this corner of the world.

Also, hi, I’m going to be stalking your journal from now on. ^-^

Lunch for me is eating a sandwich while running reports and getting the next training set up for my class to start when they get back. Breaks just don't happen, and with drive time I'm pulling 12 hours days 5 days a week. I completely sympathize, and i totally agree there just isnt use whining about it. (The two other trainers I drive in with, all they do the whole way to work and back is whine whine whine) My writing has had to suffer and even just reading is done in stolen moments before i go to bed. My spiffy new story idea isn't even on paper...definitely going to do that now before i sleep to start all over again tomorrow.

I get where she's coming from, and what she means, but it's seriously inaccurate. Selfish is selfish, and becoming a parent will not change that. I can't count the number of examples against her statement I see every day.

It's funny, I don't really have patience. I just have a temper, and know better than to let it out in a professional environment.

Hiya ^____^

^____________^ I love the old man story! So cute. ^_^

Yeah, your boss's comment is so not worth the effort.

I have the insane impulse to respond to your cold-hearted bullet with 'Git-r-done!' I'm fairly certain it is in agreement with your statement, but not something I generally say. *laughs at self*

Sorry to hear about the uncomfortable aspects of your working world. *snugs*

Hope your evening is lovely. <3

They really were adorable. So serious about their morning gossip! I got to be intense old man morning gossip!

<<33

I am torturing a woobie. My evening is grand. I hope yours is as well *luffs*

[mechante-fille.livejournal.com]

Ooh, woobie-torture! I look forward to see the fruits of that labor someday. ^_^

Point #3 is adorable. :o)

That's a warm fuzzy moment.

I envy your wisdom then. ^^;;

And you replied. So cool. *_* Yes. Dork. Very much so.

I’m more of the opinion that it depends on the individual who’s becoming a parent and what about parenthood and children and popular culture had been socialized into the individual before parenthood, but I’ve known people who have stubbornly remained as exceptions. >_> Then again, as a childless and somewhat self-centered person who isn’t about to test it either way, I might just leave it up to anyone who’s willing to try and be done with it. u.u

Quick question: do you ever give any of your published books away for free?

[maderr.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm usually terrible at replying, so always feel free to say HEY BITCH, REPLY WOULD BE NICE.

Umm...I have before, yeah. I tend to accumlate extraneous proofs, and have given those away. The ebooks too, I'm pretty easy with, especially since I know some people just can't and never will be able to pay.

The old man story has got to be one of the cutest writing stories I've heard. Yay for good-hearted gossip and curiosity! ^_^

[spy-c.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOooooo, I likes your icon. Yes, I do...

[alixkat.livejournal.com]

You are welcome to it. :o)

Some sylly words of wisdom after waking up by a vomiting cat : cats can't help vomiting and it's more often than not a disease, just the way to be a cat, and the same goes for humans : they can't help being selfish and self-centered and it's not a disease either, just the way to be a human... Then the vomit and its consequence can be an inconvenience, more or less important, to others_and sometimes the sign of a disease_, same for humans... Last point : never known so far a cat who don't vomit, same for human... relation of either with having kitten/children : none that I can think of so far...
Now going back to revel in being a selfish self centered and childless human being : life is really good sometimes!! ^____^

About that one comment, please don't ask, after all I take some time yesterday pondering_and posting!!_ about the suicidal volition of a spider who choose to quietly go down straight from the ceiling just in front of my eyes (really in the middle of my face, less than 10 cm from it) while my eyes were closing themselves in front of my PC, after a bit of panic, I saw she was injured (bad leg) and put an end to its life, thinking it was asking for it... too tired to throw it alive outside... I won't comment more on that post, it suffered enough -_-;; I'll go see the others now...
